optek photometric analyzers provide increased efficiency and productivity through effective process automation. All optek inline photometers for food and beverage applications have been designed for sanitary use and can withstand the temperatures, pressures, environment and chemical concentrations inherent in processing and CIP cycles.
These unique sensors mount directly inline and do not require a side stream or sample preparation. By installing optek inline photometers at strategic points in the process, significant cost and productivity benefits can be realized. optek inline photometric sensors can help reduce product losses, insure consistent product quality, optimize process performance, reduce manpower requirements and minimize water and utilities use.
The insight and control afforded by optek sensors can increase yield and improve the quality and consistency of food and dairy products, while supplying an impressive Return on Investment.
