Application Areas for Our Flow Meters in the Wine Industry
Our flow meters reliably support you through all crucial phases of wine production.
Flow Meters for Must Treatment
Miniaturized flow meters allow for precise monitoring during must treatment and enrichment, ensuring the exact determination of the desired sugar content.
Flow Meters for Dosing
When dosing enzymes and fining agents, our flow meters guarantee precise additions for optimal clarification and flavor development.
Flow Meters for Blending
In blending and assemblage (cuvée creation), exact measurement of different wine batches is essential to maintain a consistent flavor profile.
Further applications in wine production
- Monitoring of transfer and filtration processes
- Precise filling to ensure compliance with legal requirements
- Dosage of cleaning agents during CIP/SIP cleaning processes
Technical Specifications Of The Flow Meters From DDM Sensors
Our flow meters are tailored to the specific needs of the wine industry, combining precision, material durability, and maximum compatibility.
Measurement principles offered
To provide the optimal solution for every application in wine production, we offer a range of different measurement principles in our portfolio. These include
Materials and Resistance
All wetted materials in our flow meters are food-grade certified (NSF certificate) and suitable for direct contact with wine and must.
Our flow meters are constructed from materials such as stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L), PEEK, PFA (FDA-compliant), and PVDF, which offer high resistance to tartaric acid as well as aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.
Robustness and Durability
With protection classes like IP65 and IP67, our flow meters are optimally protected against moisture and splash water, ensuring longevity in the demanding environment of wine production. The low-maintenance design of the devices maximizes system availability and minimizes downtime.
Compatibility and Integration
For seamless integration into your existing systems, we offer a variety of digital and analog interfaces, including 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, pulse outputs (NPN/PNP), and modern standards like IO-Link.
Features such as USB interfaces for software configuration or the smartCONNECT app from our partner JUMO ensure intuitive operation and rapid commissioning.
