Success Story: Differential O2 Monitoring for Safe Centrifuge Operation

Easy sensor maintenance takes a large burden off personnel during critical production phases!
Differential O2 monitoring of the centrifuge with low ppb sensors resulted in early alarm in the event of oxygen pick-up and indicated preventive centrifuge maintenance.
Pott's Brewery GmbH, Oelde, Germany
The Pott's Brewery in Germany is famous for pioneering new technologies to improve the brewing process. The combination of more than 200 years of brewing tradition, use of modern technical equipment and an awareness of high quality leads to the production of an extremely fresh and tasty beer. Not surprisingly that Pott's was one of the first breweries to take advantage of an innovative Kieselguhr-free beer filtration process: a combination of cross-flow filtration and precentrifugation of beer.
