3 Successful Case Studies of BFG-S Electromagnetic Flowmeters in the Food Industry

Under the stringent hygiene standards of the food industry, the BFG-S electromagnetic flowmeter has become the preferred choice thanks to its high-precision measurement and easy-to-clean design. This article shares 3 typical application cases, showing how product series such as FOXBORO and JY-LDE solve flow control challenges in key processes including dairy filling, beverage blending, and sauce metering, helping engineering implementers choose the optimal solution.

Case 1: High-Precision Flow Control for a Dairy Filling Production Line

In dairy production, flow control during the filling process is of critical importance. When producing premium liquid milk products, a well-known dairy company faced issues such as insufficient filling accuracy and large batch-to-batch variations. By adopting the BFG-S electromagnetic flowmeter, the company achieved the following improvements:

• Filling accuracy increased to ±0.5%, far exceeding the industry standard of ±1.5%
• Using 316L stainless steel material and an IP65 protection rating, fully compliant with FDA hygiene certification requirements
• Integrated with the intelligent control system of the JYLDE electromagnetic flowmeter to achieve automatic temperature compensation

This system was specially equipped with a CIP (clean-in-place) function, and combined with the quick-disassembly design of the DH-LDE electromagnetic flowmeter, it reduced cleaning time by 40%. Project acceptance data showed annual savings in raw material loss amounting to 820,000 yuan.

Case 2: Retrofit of a Precision Blending System on a Beverage Production Line

The syrup blending system at the China factory of an international beverage brand had long suffered from fluctuation issues. The engineering team at Xi'an Shenghongchuang completed the retrofit through the following solution:

This solution innovatively integrated the pulse output function of the QTLD electromagnetic flowmeter with the PLC system, enabling real-time dynamic adjustment of blending parameters. According to third-party testing, the product taste consistency score improved from 86 points to 97 points.

Case 3: Metering of Viscous Fluids in Seasoning Production

Flow measurement of sauce products has long faced the following industry pain points:

1. The viscosity of the medium causes reading drift in traditional flowmeters
2. Solid particles cause wear in mechanical flowmeters
3. Challenges to electronic components in high-temperature process environments

In response to the special needs of a chili sauce manufacturer, we recommended the LDBE electromagnetic flowmeter combined with the following innovative designs:

• Special wear-resistant lining material, extending service life by 3 times
• 150℃ high-temperature-resistant version, SGS certified
• Non-contact measurement technology of the UHLDG series

After project implementation, the company's annual maintenance costs were reduced by 65%, while the improved metering accuracy brought raw material savings of 120 tons/year.

Key Factors in Electromagnetic Flowmeter Selection

Based on the above case experience, we summarize that when selecting electromagnetic flowmeters for the food industry, the following should be重点评估：

• Hygiene standards: Whether it meets certification requirements such as 3-A and EHEDG
• Medium characteristics: Matching parameters such as conductivity range, viscosity, and particle content
• Process connection: Suitability of interface forms such as quick-clamp ferrules and flanges
• Output signals: Compatibility of protocols such as 4-20mA, pulse, and HART

Taking the CGRD electromagnetic flowmeter as an example, its unique three-electrode design can effectively address the medium polarization phenomenon common in the food industry, improving measurement stability by 40% compared with conventional products.

Industry Application Trends and Technological Innovation

According to the latest market research, demand changes for flow measurement equipment in the food industry are as follows:

• Growing digitalization demand: Annual orders for LDB electromagnetic flowmeters supporting IIoT protocols increased by 35%
• Miniaturization trend: The market share of micro flowmeters with pipe diameters ≤25mm is expanding
• Multi-function integration: Composite sensors capable of measuring multiple parameters such as temperature and density are gaining popularity

The latest BFG-S series launched by Xi'an Shenghongchuang has already achieved seamless integration with MES systems. Combined with the cloud platform function of the JY-LDE electromagnetic flowmeter, it can provide a complete production data traceability solution.

Summary and Professional Recommendations

Through these 3 typical cases, it can be seen that choosing a suitable electromagnetic flowmeter solution can significantly improve the production efficiency and product quality of food enterprises. As a high-tech enterprise focusing on flow control equipment for 15 years, Xi'an Shenghongchuang recommends:

1. Give priority to products certified under ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000
2. Require suppliers to provide test reports matching the actual medium
3. Pay attention to the full life-cycle cost of the equipment, not just the purchase price
