The latest microwave technology from Berthold has made it possible to monitor the water or solid content during production in real time, enabling early detection of deviations. This makes it possible to maintain consistent quality and cost-efficient production.

Berthold’s FlowCell measuring systems provides continuous and real-time information on the current water content or dry matter on a wide range of dairy products. The measurement can be applied directly in the main stream, therefore a bypass is not required.

The materials used, which are FDA and EHEDG approved, allow easy cleaning and are resistant to high temperatures, acids and bases. Furthermore, performance is not affected by colour, viscosity, or inhomogeneity of the product. It also ensures that the dairy products comply with all legal requirements and that the product meets expectations.

Typical applications include butter, margarine, curd, cream cheese, yoghurt, and non-dairy plant-based alternatives.

The superior multi-frequency technology from Berthold ensures very stable and reliable measurements, unaffected by interfering reflections or resonances from the measuring environment.
