The new SU Puresonic Hygienic (SUH series) serves the rigorous demands of the food and beverage sector, whilst the SUW series with flange connections offers a robust solution for the water industry. Both product lines provide highly accurate flow measurement of conductive and non-conductive media.

The new flow meters share an advanced ultrasonic technology framework designed for maximum reliability and efficiency. Each device features a robust stainless steel measuring tube completely free of internal measuring elements, seals, or moving parts. This innovative design eliminates the risk of wear, leaks, and blockages, resulting in maintenance-free operation. Furthermore, the unobstructed tube ensures minimal pressure drop, allowing facilities to maintain energy-efficient operations over the long term. Both the SUH and SUW series also feature standard IO-Link integration to transmit high-accuracy data directly to control systems for better process monitoring.

For the food and beverage industry, the SU Puresonic Hygienic (SUH series) delivers exceptional process safety. The hygienic, dead space-free design allows for thorough cleaning and sterilisation, making the sensors fully compatible with CIP and SIP processes. This ensures the safe, accurate measurement of sensitive media such as ultrapure water and edible oils. Facility operators can easily integrate these sensors using a variety of standard hygienic process connections.

Addressing the specific needs of the water industry, the SUW series features industry-standard DIN/ANSI welded flange connections. This design choice allows for quick, secure, and straightforward installation into existing water systems. The SUW series is an ideal choice for transparent monitoring of water distribution and energy consumption optimisation. The flanged sensors perform reliably across a wide range of critical applications, including cooling circuits, boiler condensate, drinking water treatment facilities, and reverse osmosis/water filtration systems.
