CIP is a very important process for cleaning meat, dairy products, beer and other production and processing industries, and the level measurement of detergent tanks in the CIP system as an important control link in the front station is also crucial. And radar level meter because of its high accuracy, high stability, and other multiple advantages, become the CIP system detergent tanks in the first preferred measurement equipment. In this paper, we will introduce the characteristics of CIP system detergent tanks, and provide two actual measurement cases to prove the advantages of radar level meter in CIP system detergent tanks.

The level measurement of detergent tanks in CIP system has the following characteristics: detergent containers generally have more liquid, less dust and impurities in the environment, so the level meter should achieve high-precision measurement and fast response. Detergent liquid has special chemical properties, for the measurement of the material, corrosion resistance and safety of the equipment put forward higher requirements. Detergent level measurement should be real-time to ensure that the detergent in the tank storage and residence time, as well as the smooth progress of the external production sequence.

Below are two real-world measurement cases to demonstrate the benefits of radar level gauges in CIP systems for detergent storage tanks. Case 1: Dairy producer A dairy producer relies on CIP systems to clean various production equipment and pipelines. In the CIP system cleaner tank level measurement, the traditional measurement principle is often difficult to accurately reflect the remaining amount of cleaning fluid and signal interference, which can lead to inaccurate measurement. The company uses radar level meters to measure the level of the detergent tanks in the CIP system. The radar level meter overcomes the trouble of interference with traditional measuring instruments, and by focusing on solving the unique characteristics of the chemical nature of the cleaning fluid, it achieves a more accurate, safe, flexible and fast measurement and control for the operation of the CIP system. Case 2: Beer production company A beer production company needs to measure the level of the cleaning agent storage tank in the CIP system. Due to the smoky environment at the operation site, it is difficult for the traditional level measurement equipment to accurately reflect the true level of the detergent in the tanks. After using the radar level meter, the monitoring system can achieve highly prepared calculations and accurate and fast information response under the sooty environment, realising the automated control, easy inventory and operation management of the CIP system. In addition, the radar level meter does not have the level error caused by deposition or scaling, ensuring data accuracy and real-time.

In the level measurement of detergent tanks of CIP system, radar level meter has become the preferred measurement equipment in the industry due to its advantages of high accuracy, high stability and high real-time performance. With the wide application of CIP system, the production equipment of various industries is constantly upgraded, which puts forward higher requirements for the measurement equipment. Radar level meters are also being upgraded, with continuous innovations in the fields of fluctuation and scaling to meet the actual needs of different industrial fields.
