The Measurement Expert In Food & Beverage Industry

Maximize Food & Beverage Quality, Consistency & Safety 

with Dpstar’s Measurement Solutions

The food & beverage industry is required to adhere to strict guidelines and regulations to preserve food quality and prevent contamination that places the health and safety of consumers at risk. Compliance to safety is so critical that even minor issues can impact produce quality, food safety and result in low yields, unexpected downtime and low-quality end products. Instrumentation for food processing equipment is used to prevent these issues by monitoring processes and providing quality management for the entire production process from growing the food to preparation, manufacturing, filling, packaging, and storage.

Dpstar is a leading provider of industrial measurement and instrumentation solutions for the food and beverage industry. We have over 30-years’ experience in providing reliable, high-quality instruments and can help you achieve efficiency and sustainability with accurate, high-precision control and monitoring equipment that complies with the strictest hygiene requirements at every stage of the food chain, from primary production through transportation, processing and storage, and all the way to creating a truly circular economy through processing food waste into biogas and biomethane. Our familiarity with the demands of the food and beverage industry allows us to produce sanitary products that fully comply with strict regulatory design guidelines (e.g., 3-A Sanitary Standards). Industry professionals know they can rely on us to provide high-quality instrumentation solutions that accommodate their needs. We know how important dependable, high-precision control and monitoring equipment is to food and beverage processing. Our team has experience providing measurement solutions for a wide range of industries and can help you find the best instrumentation for your food and beverage processing needs

Temperature

During production, storage and transport of food, continuous temperature controls must be carried out to keep your food safe. This not only serves to ensure the quality of the products, but also protects the health and safety of the consumer. Cooked or frozen food stored and transported outside of a recommended temperature range can cause bacteria and fungus growth. In order to comply with legal regulations and keep products at the desired temperature, temperature deviations during production, storage and transport must be alarmed and documented.

Humidity

Atmospheric air always contains a certain quantity of water vapour. This content deviates with time and its location and is called air humidity (humidity). Excessive relative humidity promotes mould growth and impairs the shelf life of foods. Accurately measuring the humidity in the drying air is essential to optimize the drying process. It is important to keep the air dry enough to avoid microbial growth and keep products safe, and optimal conditions can only be achieved with accurate dryer controls. Optimizing the drying process provides a competitive advantage to manufacturers, saves energy and costs, and improves process consistency and end product quality. Typical applications include monitoring fluid bed and spray drying and controlling humidity levels in baking ovens.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is being used in a variety of applications in food and processing industries. Applications of carbon dioxide in preserving fruits, vegetables, meats, food grains, and liquid foods; inactivating microorganisms; extracting oils, flavors, colors, and chemicals. Too much CO2 also has a negative impact on human comfort. It is particularly important to measure carbon dioxide safety levels in the beverage industry. There is also a risk of gas leakage from tanks or pipelines. Because CO2 is heavier than air, the gas can accumulate in non-ventilated areas and pose a serious health risk for employees. This is why CO2 measurement sensors should be placed as close to floor level as possible.
