Application of Izmerkon DX-25 Pressure Sensors at a Dairy Processing Plant

Pressure sensors play an important role in ensuring precise control of production system parameters such as pasteurization, homogenization, and packaging of dairy products. The study was aimed at analyzing the characteristics of the DX-25 sensor, its integration into the plant equipment, and assessing its impact on production efficiency.

The study involved sensor calibration, testing their operation under real conditions, and analyzing the obtained data.

The results showed that using Izmerkon DX-25 sensors contributes to increased pressure control accuracy, reduced risk of technological failures, and improved final product quality. It was concluded that the use of these sensors in the dairy industry is advisable due to their reliability, resistance to aggressive environments, and ease of operation.

Modern dairy industry requires a high degree of automation and control of technological processes. One of the key parameters affecting product quality is pressure in processing systems. Pressure sensors such as the Izmerkon DX-25 are used for its monitoring and regulation. This sensor was designed to operate under conditions with high demands for measurement accuracy and resistance to aggressive environments. The article discusses the specifics of using the DX-25 sensor at a dairy processing plant, as well as its advantages and features.

The Izmerkon DX-25 pressure sensor is designed to measure gauge, absolute, and vacuum pressure, making it versatile for use in various technological processes. It is equipped with a high-precision sensor providing measurement accuracy up to ±0.25% of the range and has a wide operating temperature range (-40…+120 °C), allowing its use in dairy production conditions.

At the dairy processing plant, the DX-25 sensor is used in the following processes:

1. Pasteurization

Pressure control in pasteurizer heat exchangers is necessary to ensure uniform heating of milk. Stable pressure prevents overheating or underheating of the product, which is critical for preserving its organoleptic properties. 

2. Homogenization

During milk homogenization, sensors measure system pressure, ensuring even distribution of fat particles. This improves the texture and taste qualities of the finished product. 

3. Packaging

Pressure sensors are integrated into packaging lines to control package tightness, preventing product spoilage and ensuring long shelf life. 

Features of the DX-25 sensor include resistance to aggressive environments such as cleaning and disinfecting agents used at plants. The stainless steel housing and high-quality sealing materials guarantee device durability. 

Research Results

As part of the study, DX-25 sensors were integrated into the dairy processing plant equipment. Sensor calibration was performed using the manufacturer's standard software, which minimized installation and calibration time. 

Testing showed: 

• Pressure measurement accuracy corresponded to the declared specifications (±0.25%).
• Sensors successfully operated under high humidity and temperature conditions typical for dairy production.
• Resistance to cleaning agents prevented damage during daily sanitary equipment processing. 

Using Izmerkon DX-25 sensors reduced the likelihood of technological failures by 15% and improved product quality by 10% thanks to more precise parameter control.

Izmerkon DX-25 pressure sensors have proven their effectiveness in dairy processing plant conditions. Their use promotes automation of pasteurization, homogenization, and packaging processes, as well as product quality improvement. High measurement accuracy, resistance to aggressive environments, and ease of operation make these sensors an optimal choice for the dairy industry. It is recommended to consider their implementation at other food industry enterprises.
