Reliable measurement of viscous edible oil with air entrainments and lower pressure drop
Advanced measurement solutions for edible oil production
Optimisation of hygienic processes through key technologies
A high-quality product often means a challenging production process. Manufacturers of Edible Oil have special requirements, starting with the input logistics through to measurement accuracy – often down to the gram. KROHNE has a dedicated Global Industry Division which accepts these challenges and offers dedicated measurement solutions for the Food & Beverage industry.
In the edible oil manufacturing process, achieving high quality, safety and efficiency is the priority: this sets highly challenging demands on the measurement technologies used. Please accept our invitation to meet in person, or online, to discuss your process improvement potential. Let us help to enable the evolution of your manufacturing process with our industry and application know-how and high-quality products.

Key technologies for the edible oil market
Reliable measurement of viscous edible oil with air entrainments and lower pressure drop
With higher viscosities comes high pressure drop. KROHNE features unique straight tube Coriolis mass flowmeters that benefit the smallest pressure drop. In combination with our EGM technology your process is optimised even when there’s entrained air present.
Increased lifespan with straight tube flowmeters
Abrasive fluids, as occurring in the production of edible oil, impacts pipe walls and erodes material – resulting in a reduced lifetime. The solution is a straight tube mass flowmeter where the fluid can pass through the pipe with no obstructions. Learn more about how straight tube mass flowmeters overcome these problems in this short video.
Radar measurement solutions for tanks with constant switching density
DP-level is still widely used within the process industry. However switching densities can give different results. Installing the latest FMCW Radars can neglect this issue. Enjoy a more accurate reading that is contactless to the medium and density independent.
Pressure transmitters with ceramic membrane: Fast reacting – temperature independent – no risk of leakage
Ceramic membrane pressure transmitters are advantageous over a metallic diaphragm when it comes to edible oil processes. No filling fluid can come into contact with the product. Furthermore the product features a low temperature influence and quick response time even at high process temperatures, 100% vacuum resistance and is highly robust.
Optimisation of utilities through smart meter valves
FOCUS 1 is the first smart meter valve on the market that combines valve, flow, pressure and temperature sensors, unique diagnostic and control functions in a single device. The product innovation is especially ideal for the optimisation of utilities.
