The SMF beverage flowmeter from ifm is designed to provide a complete monitoring solution, which has the ability to deliver comprehensive, real-time monitoring of multiple parameters — flow, temperature and conductivity — all from a single device.
This multiparameter capability doesn’t replace traditional lab validation; instead, it works in harmony with it. By providing continuous online data, the flowmeter can help to enable winemakers to maintain tight control over their processes between manual checks, ensuring that any deviations are detected and addressed immediately.
In addition to its core measurements, the flowmeter also provides valuable insights such as total volume, flow direction and the presence of the medium (empty pipe detection). All of this information is easily accessible — whether the user is integrating with advanced digital systems or simply using the device’s local display for on-the-spot monitoring. For those just starting out with automation, the flowmeter offers straightforward, real-time feedback to support manual interventions and decision-making. For more advanced operations, data can be logged, stored and downloaded for deeper analysis, trend tracking or compliance purposes. This flexibility means that winemakers — regardless of where they are on their automation journey — can benefit from enhanced process visibility and control.
Installation and integration are straightforward, thanks to an intuitive app-based menu, standard dimensions and a range of seals and adapters. The flowmeter is designed for easy coupling with wine transfer pumps and features specialised fittings for fast, leak-free connections — whether during wine transfers, filtration or cleaning cycles.
Designed to meet the strictest hygiene standards with fully welded stainless steel housing, the flowmeter is rated to withstand temperatures up to 150°C, with an IP69K rating and sanitary design.
The next-generation, multiparameter sensor has been specifically designed for the food, beverage and wine industries.
