UWT radar sensor delivers reliable measurement in beer brewing – even with steam and agitation

Radar technology and capacitive measurement from UWT ensure precise processes in the mash tun

In the brewing process, mashing is a critical stage in developing the beer’s flavor and alcohol content. To maintain consistently high quality in the brewhouse, accurate level measurement is essential, especially in challenging conditions such as high temperatures, foam formation, steam and condensation, as well as continuous agitation. Internal components such as agitators can interfere with measurement signals, necessitating highly focused sensor technology.
To address these challenges, UWT GmbH offers an optimized sensor system combining non-contact radar technology and capacitive level detection. The NivoRadar® NR 8300 and the RFnivo® RF 8100 ensure hygienic, low-maintenance, and highly accurate operation – even in dynamic process conditions and complex tank geometries.
