Achieve More Productivity with OPTIMASS - Krohne

Optimass Application Story
Application: Beer Brewing at Grolsch in Holland
Observe the ice on the pipe above at right!
OPTIMASS is capable of high
measurement accuracy of 0.1 % for
fluids and 0.5% for gasses. Our
mass flow meters can measure
density and volume flow as well as
calculating Brix or Plato with the
concentration option.
Grolsch’s tests actually showed
better than 0.1% accuracy when
dosing 8 kg batches of hops
When Grolsch built their new state of the art
brewery at Enschede, they equipped it with
KROHNE flowmeters, including OPTIMASS
meters for the more demanding applications
where there is high viscosity or no
conductivity.
In the brewery applications this includes
dosing liquid sugar and hops and for
measuring carbon dioxide levels in the cold
recovery system.
