Sensor detecting air and gas bubbles

• Detection of air and gas bubbles enables monitoring the process medium upon any contamination with the help of foreign air.
• Fast measuring signal ensures process and product quality.
   

• Avoiding cavitation and dry running of pumps thanks to early detection of air and gas pockets.
   

• Any free air present in the system will impair performance and efficiency, such as in heating and cooling circuits.
• Reliable detection of air and gas bubbles ensures maximum performance and utilization of resources.

• Air pockets in systems often lead to expensive malfunctions with high maintenance effort.
• PAD20 will detect even extremely minor air pockets and this way prevents downtime.

Early detection of any air and gas bubbles contaminating the process will increase the overall plant efficiency in industrial applications.
 

Potential applications:

• Monitoring of heating and cooling circuits
• Protection of pumps
• Ensuring product and process quality

Early detection of air and gas bubbles in pipelines allows for resource-saving and sustainable production in the food industry while ensuring product quality and safety.

Potential applications:

• Exchange of containers with fruit concentrate
• Elimination of microorganisms in foreign air
• Product quality assurance in the filling process
• Protection of pumps

Benefit from the data provided by present-day intelligent sensors to enhance process transparency, to improve efficiency and to cut down on costs. Find out here how IO Link will be of help.

The innovative sensor principle of the PAD20 supports users in making production processes more efficient and thus saving resources. That is why the analysis sensor was awarded the Dairy Technology Prize by the trade journals molkerei-industrie and IDM International Dairy Magazine as well as the Association of Ahlemer Engineers.

One challenge less to care about at Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH: new analysis sensor PAD20 from Baumer detects even smallest air and gas bubbles when dosing fruit concentrate into yogurt. This way, the delivering container can be fully emptied without running the risk of any gas penetrating the system that has to be exhausted afterwards.

The unique PAD20 bubble sensor for air and gas bubble detection receives the next innovation award. After winning the Dairy Technology Award 2021, the analysis sensor has now also convinced the expert jury of the International FoodTec Award 2024 of the German Agricultural Society (DLG).
