Embodiment 2

[0056] For Example 2, two additional tests were performed in which 5 mass % NaOH solution and 5 mass % Na 2 CO 3The solution is introduced into the already cleaned mechanism. This case also shows a good correspondence between the results obtained by the titration and the measured values ​​obtained by combining the conductivity and the refractive index. In particular, the NaOH content is marked very precisely, ie more precisely than a pure conductivity measurement.

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus comprising at least one process container and / or at least one process line, a cleaning device via which the process container and / or process line can be cleaned by means of introducing a detergent solution, a measuring device for determining a first physical characteristic of the detergent solution, a measuring device for determining a second physical characteristic of the detergent solution, a measuring device for determining the temperature of the detergent solution, an evaluation unit which determines the detergent concentration in the detergent solution via the first and second physical characteristics and via the temperature of the detergent solution, and determines the continuance or termination of the cleaning and / or the re-concentration and / or replacement of the detergent as a function of the detergent concentration that is determined.; The invention further relates to methods for monitoring the cleaning of an apparatus, comprising the steps of: (a) cleaning the apparatus (1) with a detergent solution, wherein the detergent is chemically converted during the cleaning, (b) measuring a first and a second physical characteristic and measuring the temperature of the detergent solution, (c) determining the detergent concentration in the detergent solution via the first and second physical characteristics and via the temperature of the detergent solution, (d) continuing or terminating the cleaning and / or re-concentrating and / or replacing the detergent as a function of the detergent concentration determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device, in particular to a device for preparing, processing and filling liquid food products, and to a method for monitoring the cleaning of such a device. Background technique [0002] Equipment in food manufacturing plants or breweries, as well as in the chemical or pharmaceutical industries, requires regular cleaning. For example, in heated brewery equipment, where the wort is boiled and held warm, during the process deposits, especially those caused by dirt (such as the scorching of organics such as sugars or proteins), form on the heated surfaces , they must be removed. It is also known that in fermentation tanks, for example, organic or mineral fouling can also form without the action of heat. [0003] Typically, the CIP ("clean-in-place") method is used to clean the vessels and pipes in breweries with corresponding cleaning agents. In particular, basic (eg, based on NaOH) aqueous solutions and acidic (eg, ba...
