In cheese production different types of presses are used. Pressure is used to withdraw the remaining liquid from the curd by means of pneumatically driven cylinders. Compressed air is one of the most expensive industrially used carriers of energy. Therefore, the optimisation of its consumption and the knowledge where the consumption takes place is increasingly important. Huge cost savings can be made by repairing leaks.

The compressed air of the pneumatic cylinders is monitored by the efector metris compressed air meter (SD series). efector metris is based on the calorimetric measuring principle. It incorporates two temperature-dependent measuring elements which are inserted into the pipe. One element is heated, the second is used as a reference for the medium temperature. The flowing medium cools down the heated measuring element. The heating power which is employed is proportional to the volumetric flow. The mechanical structure, combined with modern microprocessor technology provides a multitude of applications, evaluations and an intelligent signal processing.

With the efector metris compressed air consumption meter, ifm electronic provides the user with a low-cost opportunity to precisely measure the current as well as the total consumption. To do so, the sensor is mounted and adjusted in a pipe length at the factory. Due to the high sensitivity even smallest quantities, like those which for example occur in case of leakage, are detected at an early stage and can be remedied. Binary, analogue and pulse outputs, the display of current and accumulated flow as well as further functions provide a variety of options to gain informative measurement data and to process them in the control system or in the process. The fast response time of 100 milliseconds also permits the detection of quick changes or compressed air peaks. Furthermore, efector metris distinguishes itself by its high measurement dynamics of 1 : 300. The measuring principle as well as the constructive design of the sensors make a measuring accuracy of ± 3% of the measuring value + 0.3% of the final value of the measuring range possible.
