Optimize Your Brewing Process with Omega’s Vast Selection of High-Quality Products
Whether we are talking about a large-scale beer-brewing operation or a small, independent craft brewery, top brew masters can all agree on one thing: quality is king.
In order to brew the all-allusive, perfect beer, both effective monitoring and effective control of systems – from the start of the brewing process all the way to the finish – are absolutely necessary. Brewers are constantly seeking out products and process solutions that can help them achieve the high level of quality their industry demands – and more and more, professionals in the brewing industry are turning to Omega products for their innovative technology, high-quality, and reliability.
Omega Engineering: A Brewer’s Engineering Company
Omega Engineering has the sensing solutions and expert know-how to optimize any brewing process. From water filtration to fermentation to canning to storage and transport, Omega manufactures products ideal for the measurement and control of such sensing variables as temperature, pH, and pressure within any brewing environment.
Temperature
HANI High Accuracy, Non-Invasive Clamp Temperature Sensor
Omega’s new and innovative HANI High Accuracy, Non-Invasive Clamp Temperature is a game-changer for the brewing industry.
That’s because HANI sensors do what few thought was even possible: they measure, with very high accuracy, the temperature of moving fluid inside a pipe without the use of an invasive temperature probe. The HANI simply clamps to the outside of the pipe and measures temperature inside the pipe, accurately, in seconds. There’s no need to cut, weld, drill, or shut down production to install or relocate a HANI sensor. And HANI sensors never come in contact with product, so there’s no risk of contamination or turbulence.
The HANI High Accuracy, Non-Invasive Clamp Temperature Sensor can be used to:
- Monitor temperature in incoming water filtration and sanitization
- Check for in-line heat loss from the lauter tun to the boil kettle
- Monitor cooling lines during wort cooling
- Audit temperatures at the bottling line without adding turbulence
3-A Sanitary Temperature Probes
If a fixed temperature sensor is needed, an Omega 3-A sanitary temperature probe can be installed wherever temperatures need to be monitored within the brewing system. The 3-A approved Omega PRS-S-NB9W and PRS-H-NB9W Series RTD Sensors are designed for use in sanitary or hygienic clean-in-place applications – and are ideal for the brewing industry.
These sensors are manufactured with 316L stainless steel housings that meet the dimensional and finish requirements of 3-A standard 74-05 and ASME BPE-2001.
The PRS-S-NB9W and PRS-H-NB9W Series RTD Sensors are welded and processed to provide a clean, smooth, 32 microinch (or better) surface finish in the wetted areas for clean-in-place processes. In addition, the probe stems are manufactured in two configurations; with a standard 1/4" diameter probe for standard duty service, and a stepped 3/8" to 3/16" diameter probe design perfect for good response times in heavy duty applications. A white polypropylene connection head provides a convenient 3/4" NPT threaded connection point for process wiring.
3-A Sanitary Temperature Probes can be used to:
- Monitor temperature in incoming water filtration and sanitization
- Check for in-line heat loss from the lauter tun to the boil kettle
- Monitor temperature during the fermentation process
