In this dairy, milk products with different fat contents are produced and filled. To ensure that the correct product gets into the sales packaging, each batch used to undergo a laboratory test to determine its fat content. The time required for the laboratory tests and the damage in the event of an incorrectly filled product were considerable.
This situation was overcome by an ITM-51 turbidimeter. Since this also reacts sensitively to different fat contents in the product, quality control can now be carried out automatically via an inline application in the process itself.

The ITM-51 turbidimeter can measure not only the relative turbidity in a product, but also the fat content in milk. For each product, a preset for the turbidity values at which an alarm signal is to be issued can be programmed in on the sensor itself. To do this, a sample is taken, and the laboratory value determined is used as the setpoint.

The inline measurement completely eliminates the need for sampling and laboratory analysis and the time and expense required for these.
