WIKA India, a global leader in measurement instrumentation technology, is set to make a significant impact at Anuga FoodTec 2024, one of the world's largest international trade fairs for the food and beverage industry. From August 28 to 30, WIKA India will showcase its latest innovations designed to enhance precision and reliability in food and beverage (F&B) production processes.

In the highly regulated F&B industry, maintaining stringent quality control is crucial to ensuring that food products are safe, consistent, and of high quality. WIKA’s advanced measuring instruments play a pivotal role in achieving these standards by providing accurate and reliable measurements across various parameters, including pressure, temperature, level, and force. This precision allows machinery to operate without interruptions, ensuring the final product meets the industry's exacting standards.

At Anuga FoodTec 2024, WIKA will present a diverse range of measuring instruments tailored to the specific needs of the F&B industry:

  • Pressure Measuring Instruments: Pressure is a critical parameter in numerous F&B processes, from cooking to sterilization. WIKA’s pressure instruments deliver precise readings essential for processes like pasteurization and carbonation, ensuring that these operations occur under optimal conditions to maintain product quality and safety.

  • Temperature Measuring Instruments: Accurate temperature control is vital in F&B manufacturing and storage. WIKA’s temperature measurement solutions ensure that processes such as cooking, cooling, and storage occur at the right temperatures, preserving flavor integrity, extending shelf life, and preventing spoilage.

  • Level Measuring Instruments: For inventory control of liquids and ingredients, accurate level measurement is indispensable. WIKA’s level instruments provide real-time monitoring, enabling manufacturers to maintain optimal levels in storage tanks and production lines, ensuring consistency and resource efficiency throughout production.

  • Force Measuring Instruments: In-process food production procedures, such as packaging and sealing, require precise force application. WIKA’s force measurement solutions ensure that machinery applies the correct force at the required time, contributing to the final product's integrity and safety.
