From Scales to Smart Inline: Precision Mass & Density Measurement for Plant-Based Production In Partnership With KROHNE Food & Beverage

In Partnership With KROHNE Food & Beverage

As plant-based production scales from pilot to full industrial capacity, traditional batch weighing methods are becoming a bottleneck. In this webinar, KROHNE Food & Beverage will explore how measurement technologies used in high-precision industries such as chemicals and life sciences can transform plant-based ingredient processing. Instead of relying on manual scales before batch mixing, manufacturers can implement uninterrupted, fully scalable inline blending with precise mass flow and density measurement.

Even highly viscous or complex ingredients – such as spinach, soy concentrate, potato slurry, and almond paste – can be measured accurately using advanced inline mass flow technology with parallel density monitoring. The session will also explore how shear rate measurements can help approximate process viscosity, enabling more consistent textures, mouthfeel, and product quality.

If you are looking to improve process control, scalability, and product consistency in plant-based manufacturing, this session will show what is now possible.
