Control and measuring instruments

Complex matrix piping makes it difficult for the operator to directly view his product. The installation of VARINLINE® housings into the pipeline system permits integration of measurement and control instruments in the process system and thus, structuring the production process visibly.
The adaptation of the meters in the VARINLINE® housings takes place via VARINLINE® process connections. Many manufacturers have considered this established process connection types and offer meters for installation in VARINLINE® fittings as standard. This ensures hygienic and quick integration of different devices into the process system.

In connection with a standard evaluation unit, the conductive electrode is mainly used for level detection in tanks.

In the current process technology, fixed piping systems lead to permanently closed systems within the single plants which do not allow the operator to have a direct view into the production process. By equipping the pipelines with VARINLINE® housings, control and measurement instruments can be installed within the piping systems to monitor the pr...

Due to its special structural shape, the instrument can be used for the measurement of excess and vacuum pressures.

Sight glasses inserted into the VARINLINE® access unit or into a housing connection flange (for vessels and tanks) are used for visual monitoring of the product.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability.
