MOCA certified food probes: precision and safety in level control
MOCA certified food probes represent an advanced and reliable solution for monitoring liquid levels within production processes involving food and beverages. Specifically designed to ensure hygiene and food safety, these probes are widely used in sectors such as the dairy, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Operating principle and materials
Similarly to traditional conductive level probes, MOCA certified probes also exploit the electrical conductivity of the liquid to detect its level. However, they stand out for the use of materials specifically selected and approved for contact with food, such as AISI 316L stainless steel and Teflon. These materials guarantee:
Chemical inertia: They do not alter the organoleptic properties of food.
Resistance to corrosion: They ensure a long life even in aggressive environments.
Easy to clean: They allow effective and frequent sanitization.
MOCA certification: a plus for food safety
The MOCA certification (Materials and Objects in Contact with Food) certifies the conformity of the probes to the rigorous European standards on hygiene and food safety. This means that:
The materials used are inert and do not release harmful substances into food.
The probes are designed to be easily cleaned and sanitized.
Production is subject to periodic checks to guarantee the quality and safety of the product.
Typical Applications
MOCA certified food probes are used in many industrial processes, including:
Dairy industry: Milk level control in storage tanks, pasteurization tanks and fermenters.
Beverage production: Level monitoring of fruit juices, beer, wine and other beverages in tanks and cisterns.
Pharmaceutical industry: Liquid level control in drug production and packaging processes.
Cosmetics industry: Level monitoring of cosmetic products during production.
Advantages of MOCA certified food probes
Food safety: Ensure maximum hygiene and compliance with current regulations.
Precision: Provide accurate and reliable liquid level measurements.
Long life: Made of corrosion and wear-resistant materials.
Easy installation: They can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of liquids and applications.
In conclusion, MOCA certified food probes are an indispensable tool for ensuring the quality and safety of food products. Thanks to their reliability, precision and compliance with current regulations, they represent the ideal choice for all companies operating in the food sector.
