Practical example: Precise pumping and indirect flow measurement of viscous liquids in the food industry

In the food industry, viscous liquids require both reliable pumping and accurate measurement. To this end, the precise measurement of flow rates is crucial for consistent product quality and efficient production processes.

Scenario

The precise pumping of viscous liquids places high demands on pump systems in the food industry. At the same time, there is a need for accurate flow measurement in order to make production processes efficient and maintain consistent product quality. A robust, reliable solution is required, especially in sensitive production environments. When pumping viscous liquids, companies in the food industry face various challenges:

  • Reliable pumping even at high viscosity
  • Precise measurement of flow rates without additional measuring systems
  • High requirements for hygiene, cleaning and maintenance

Solution with Lutz Pumpen

The B70 eccentric screw pump with integrated indirect flow measurement is used for this application. The innovative technology enables precise measurement of flow rates directly in the pump system, without the need for additional external measurement devices.

The robust construction of the pump ensures a long service life and is very easy to maintain. These characteristics can significantly reduce operating costs. Using our B70 eccentric screw pump will optimise your processes and improve the quality of your products.
