Beverage & Brewing Industry

Beverage Industry

Level Detection: Fructose, Corn Syrup, etc.

Dynatrol^® Type CL-10GH Liquid Level Detector can be used in Beverage Industry applications where it is necessary to know the level of fructose, corn syrup or sugar liquor in a tank or other vessel. The Dynatrol level probes can be inserted into the storage tank or vessel at the point where the reading needs to be taken. When the product reaches the level probe the probe will detect its presence and close a contact. This contact closure can be used to turn on an alarm, a light or can be used as a computer input. The contact arrangement of the Dynatrol level switch lends itself to use in either high or low level applications.

Density Measurement:  Fructose, Corn Syrup, etc.

The Dynatrol^® CL10-HY density cell and Series 2000 digital density converter can be used to measure fructose corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose syrup, or dextrose. The Dynatrol^® Density System uses temperature and density information from the CL10 HY cell to calculate degrees BRIX, Baumé or density at a reference temperature. Automation Products Inc./Dynatrol^® software uses the same reference tables that are used by sugar growers. The CL10 HY and Series 2000 combination has been used in processing corn syrup as well as other syrup applications such as soft drink bottling and mixing.  For many years the Dynatrol^® Density System has been used for fructose applications within the Food Industry.

Evaporators/Concentrators:  Fruit and Vegetable Juices

The Dynatrol^® CL10-HY density cell and Series 2000 digital density converter are used to measure density or percent concentration of dissolved or suspended solids for condensed juices, fruit juice, vegetable juice and broths in the beverage or food industries.  Concentration of fruit juices or vegetable juices can be measured by the Dynatrol^®Density System and the results can be used to control the evaporation process.

Brewing Industry

Level Detection:  Hops, Barley and Grain

The CL10-DJ series of level switches are used for malt, barley, hops, grains, etc.  Measure high-, intermediate-, or low-level detection of hops, barley or grain used for beer.  Bulk solids level measurement for hops, barley or grain storage for the beer brewing process.

Density Measurement:  Corn Mash, Corn Beer Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)

The Dynatrol^® CL10-HY density cell and Series 2000 digital density converter combination is used to measure the density of beer and corn mash.  The alcohol content and point in the fermentation process can be determined by the density measurement.
The Dynatrol^® Density System has two analog outputs, one for density and one for temperature.  This Dynatrol^® Density System is used for measuring corn beer and mash in distilleries for whiskey,  as well as measurement of ethanol when used as a gasoline additive.
