Abstract
A target flowmeter was installed in a commercial dairy plant and examined for accuracy over a period of 4 months. The flowmeter was installed after the cooling section of a HTST pasteurizer operating at approximately 378·5 liters/min. Product flow was monitored by the meter and compared to the total amount of product packaged. Seven different products were monitored: skim milk, milk with 1 2 % , 1% or 2% milk fat, Jersey milk with 2% fat, Jersey whole milk, and a 1% fat A/B Nutrish TM product. Comparison of the volume metered versus the volume packaged indicated no significant difference for any product at P < 0·05. Results of this study, which also included installation in an intermittent flow line, indicated that the target flowmeter can accurately assess amount of product in applications in which flow is continuous.
