Reliable, Worry-Free Level Sensing

Manufacturers in food processing must meet stringent guidelines while preventing harmful contamination, spoiling, or machine malfunction. Various sensors, switches and computerized systems are used in food processing to obtain accurate information about the contents of the machines. Level sensors and switches are used to ensure product quality and consistency during the food manufacturing process, and are just as critical in food storage. Liquid level sensors are put in place to monitor such things as:

• Steam and liquid temperature
• Agitator speed, pressure and weight
• Acid and alkali input
• Gas flow
• Foam breaking

Acuators & Cylinders — Rugged, Reliable Process Control

Automated motion control is a vital component to processes across the Food & Beverage industry. OKC Automation provides rugged actuators and cylinders for dependable process control. They are available in a wide variety of models, including a line of washdown-ready stainless steel versions, to suit the most demanding food & beverage processing needs.

Accurate Pressure & Temperature Control

Food and beverages must be produced and stored at very specific temperatures to maintain their quality and safety. OKC Automation provides specialized, highly accurate pressure and temperature transmitters that are crucial for piping, filters and tanks in the food, beverage and dairy industries. These sensors are also designed to withstand the rigors of clean in place (CIP) and sterilize in place (SIP) cleaning and provide rapid temperature recovery. They utilize specific wetted part materials depending on the media being measured.
