Work comfort and contamination control

In the Food & Beverage industry, monitoring the performance of the ventilation system is critical. Responsible for eliminating contaminants (odours, vapours, particles, gases, etc.), it is also the main defence against contaminants coming from outside.

To ensure proper food production, processing and storage conditions, monitoring the correct operation of an aeraulic system in a food processing environment involves continuous tracking of pressure, temperature, humidity, air speed and flow parameters using robust, reliable instruments.

Parameters to be monitored

  • Temperature

  • Airflow / Velocity

  • Hygrometry

  • Pressure

CONTINUOUS MONITORING (VENTILATION SYSTEM)
Preventing bacteria and mould growth protects both products and staff. So you need the right instruments to ensure that a constant air flow is maintained to renew the air in the various climate controlled areas (CCAs).
Installed directly on the ventilation systems of food processing facilities, our humidity, temperature, flow rate and pressure sensor-transmitters measure, display, transmit and alert the technical departments that are responsible for securing production using reliable measurements.

Additional protection is provided by adjusting the mixing ratio through the correct balancing of air flows. It ensures that there are sufficient pressure differences to avoid contamination (particles, bacteria or pollutants) between the different CCAs in the plant.
In climate-controlled rooms, the CPE 320 flush-mounted sensor is an ideal measurement tool, with its stainless steel front panel and high accuracy (±0.3 Pa). It can be fitted with flush-mounted temperature and humidity sensors, also in stainless steel.

SPOT MEASUREMENTS
To check filter efficiency, two key parameters need to be verified: pressure and flow rate. With its numerous modular probes, the AMI 310 is the perfect portable device for checking all air parameters on-site during a spot inspection.
Note that air pollutants on factory sites can come from both internal industrial processes and the outside environment. Air filtration is essential to protect the interior of the site, but also to prevent particles from being released into the outside air.

METROLOGICAL SERVICES
Our metrology technicians can travel anywhere in mainland France to ensure that production sites are not brought to a standstill. They can work on all types of installations and processes, and check your instruments, whatever their brand.
It is essential to have measuring equipment checked and calibrated in order to guarantee product conformity. In addition to our on-site calibration service, our Dordogne site has 800 m2 of metrology laboratories.

  • Sauermann pressure sensors play a vital role in face mask tests
    Sauermann pressure sensors play a vital role in face mask tests

    As lockdown rules are eased in many parts of the world, the production of respiratory face masks is being ramped up to cater to massive demand from countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Chinese filter manufacturers are turning in large numbers to Sauermann to certify their products to the strictest international standards. Filter test benches require high-precision differential pressure sensors, such as our CP 112 range, as part of the test protocol. Here, we explain how and why.

    Using CO2 concentration to measure air change rate

    Air change rate (ACR) has always been a key concept in building ventilation system management. But now, it’s become even more important – as a vital measurement in the fight against COVID-19, and against bacteria and viruses more generally.
