The smart solution for detecting air and gas bubbles enables significant savings in the production of fruit yogurt. How you can sustainably optimize your use of resources?
Dairy Technology Award for Environment & Sustainability
As a manufacturer of innovative sensor solutions, the environment and sustainability are very important to us. With the help of innovative solutions, we support our customers in making production processes more efficient and optimizing the use of resources. The PAD20 analysis sensor for the detection of air and gas bubbles is the answer to a decades-old problem of one of our customers in the dairy industry, with which resources could be saved and production capacities expanded.
Optimal control of the container change during yoghurt production
In the food industry, companies are faced with the balancing act between increased variety and economic production. With the innovative PAD20 analysis sensor (project name PA25) for the detection of air and gas bubbles in the process, the efficiency and sustainability of the production of fruit yoghurt at one of the largest dairies could be significantly increased.
Per type change and production line, thanks to the reliable detection of air and gas bubbles during container changes, it is possible to save
up to
kg
of fruit mixture.
In addition, the pinpoint emptying of the containers prevents the system from running empty and the pump from running dry as a result. In such a case, the system can stand still for up to 15 minutes. During this time
up to
Cups
of yoghurt can be produced on the line.
“For us this, was the breakthrough we had been looking for all these years. It allows us to optimally and sustainably deploy our resources and considerably increase system availability.”
Karsten Noack, Senior Expert Production at Sachsenmilch
“The PAD20 enables us a clear increase in our production efficiency and sustainability.”
Matthias Wiora, Technical Innovation Manager at Theo Müller group
“What impressed us the most about Baumer was their readiness to find an adequate solution no matter how much time and effort they had to invest.” They sat down with us and went through with the plan.”
Valentin Jörns, Managing Director Bawaco GmbH
The PAD20 analysis sensor analyses and detects air and gas bubbles in all kinds of viscous liquids. The sensor does not have to be parameterised for the respective medium, but works independently of the medium. This ensures maximum flexibility in productions with different raw materials, where recipe changes are frequent.

Our sensors ensure that wind turbines turn. This means more electricity per wind force. Every second wind turbine on this earth uses sensor intelligence from Baumer for optimum power production.
In the past few years, Züger has been able to achieve considerable savings in water and cleaning media with CIP cleaning. A key factor here: the CombiLyz AFI conductivity sensor.
