Precise measurement of raw materials
Whether your ingredients are delivered in liquid or solid form, via ship or truck, loading, unloading and storage requires accurate information regarding the quantities.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser ensures improved inventory management in the food industry thanks to complete monitoring solutions that range from receipt and storage of the materials, to delivery.
- With our certified loading and unloading skids, you can increase throughput, gain time and cost savings, and improve the accuracy of your transfer activities, while maintaining full compliance with hygiene standards.

Monitoring of production processes
Accidental losses can occur when operators get distracted. Overfilling or unintended product draining can also be a reason.
Our expertise in the field
Spotting accidental discharge or overfilling requires precise monitoring of all process steps. These challenges can be reliably solved with highly-precise level measurement instruments from Endress+Hauser.
- Reliable overfill protection for liquids and bulk solids thanks to our vibronic or capacitance level switch technology. Liquiphant, Soliphant and Liquipoint level switches are the suitable solution.
- Precise, non-contact and maintenance-free measurements for liquids and bulk solids with our radar level measurement technology. The Micropilot family is a safe solution, even under extreme process conditions.

Optimization in cleaning processes
Monitor and control your cleaning process in real-time with innovative sensor technology. Inline measuring sensors determine, for example, when each phase of the CIP cycle ends and when the next should begin.
Our expertise in the field
Innovative liquid analysis sensors are used to determine when product or rinse water is in the line starting the CIP system only if zero product remains after rinsing. Fast, reliable responses in real-time from the process are important to reduce product, cleaning agent and water loss.

Reduce contaminant loads in wastewater
Wastewater in the food and beverage industry contains contaminant loads, such as fats, sugar and solids, for which the manufacturer has to pay additional wastewater treatment fees.
Our expertise in the field
Economically speaking, it’s best to minimize the contaminant load by reducing the product that enters the waste stream. To optimize pre-treatment or reduce the BOD load in wastewater with the highest reliability and efficiency, Endress+Hauser instruments measure all relevant wastewater parameters to ensure that the wastewater can be safety discharged into the municipal sewage system or even direct into a body of water.
- Endress+Hauser can help you reliably prevent, monitor and treat wastewater that accumulates during production. Discover how it works by reading our story wastewater treatment in the food industry.
