Food gas measurement

VA520 mixed gas flow meter for the food and beverage industry

Gases are used to avoid the spoiling of foods and beverages and to keep them fresh for a long period of time.

In this case very often special gas mixtures are used to get the desired effect (like e.g. nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures).

The gases which create a protective atmosphere (MAP) are brought into the food packaging under pressure by means of special machines.

The flow sensor VA 520 allows a reliable measurement and monitoring of the flow of most gases and gas combinations. The system is compatible with system diameters from ¼“ to DN 80.
