Steam Measurement and Control for Cooking Processes in Pet Food Production
Improve final product quality with reliable steam measurement during pet food cooking processes.
Accurately measure steam consumption during cooking applications
For most cooking applications in pet food production, steam is the main heating mechanism because it provides very controllable heat. Although, steam is very expensive and often, at many pet food facilities, is the largest energy consumer so it can be a major source of waste if not monitored and handled correctly. Advanced measurement solutions are designed to help overcome this challenge and can accurately monitor steam quality to help reduce steam cost, ensure final product quality, and improve sustainability in pet food cooking applications.

Rosemount 8800 Series Vortex Flow Meters offer world-class reliability with a gasket-free, non-clog meter body that eliminates potential leak points, resulting in maximum process availability and fewer unscheduled shutdowns. The unique design of Emerson's Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flow Meters features isolated sensors that eliminate the need to break process seals for flow and temperature sensor replacement.
- An isolated sensor allows for online replacement without breaking the process seal
- Increase plant availability and eliminate potential leak points with a unique gasket-free meter body design
- Eliminate downtime and maintenance costs associated with plugged impulse lines with a non-clog meter body design
