Tomato juice heat exchanger

Pressure
Tomato juice heat exchanger

Overview

In the plate heat exchanger, the tomatoes are heated up to about +85 °C, depending on the product, so that all germs are killed. The tomatoes are heated in multiple sections, kept hot for a time and then cooled down again. This process is suitable for thermal treatment of tomato concentrate, pulp and juice. Reliable pressure measurement is required to maintain an optimal process in the heat exchanger.

VEGA Inventory System

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
