The GEA NiSoMate inline quality monitoring system is a sensor-based technology for product control during the homogenisation process. Liquids are continuously analysed inline for consistency and quality in real time.
The system combines matched sensors that are bundled in a single unit which is installed directly on the homogeniser. With good measurement accuracy, the homogenisation effect on the respective liquids can be displayed in real time without touching the product.
The sensor system uses an ultrasound-based ‘beamforming array’ technology that was specially engineered for this purpose. It allows physical product properties such as density, consistency change and dilution to be derived. These parameters can be read by an external process control which can then take appropriate actions. Consequently, operators can monitor the process directly on the production line and adjust the performance of the system accordingly, without having to wait for laboratory samples results.
The system is designed to help users achieve production goals faster, especially when processing new types of liquids. Preconfigured recipes can also be used and set for a faster process flow once an in situ fingerprint has been analysed for the respective starting product. This makes it suitable for food, new food and pharmaceutical applications.
The GEA NiSoMate can be used in all GEA homogenisers — from laboratory units to large industrial plants — and is also available as a retrofit for existing plants.
