Pressure Transmitters for Food & Beverage
Pressure measurement in food and beverage production goes beyond accuracy. It demands instrumentation that can survive aggressive CIP and SIP cleaning cycles, prevent product contamination, and integrate seamlessly into hygienic process environments. Stork Solutions supplies a dedicated range of hygienic pressure transmitters and gauges engineered specifically for the food, beverage, and dairy sectors. Every product in our hygienic range features flush-welded stainless steel diaphragms, food-compatible materials, and construction designed to eliminate dead space where bacteria and residue can accumulate.

Key Food & Beverage Applications:
Hygienic Pressure Transmitters Built for Clean Process Environments
Food and beverage production lines are cleaned frequently and aggressively. Your pressure instrumentation needs to handle that without degrading. The DMP 331 P is one of the most widely specified hygienic pressure transmitters in the sector, offering a flush stainless steel diaphragm, CIP/SIP compatibility up to 150 degrees C, and an optional cooling element for media temperatures reaching 300 degrees C. For applications requiring tighter accuracy and digital signal processing, the DMP 331 P i delivers temperature response of 0.04% FSO/10K with a 1:10 turn-down ratio, making it a strong choice for pasteurisation, carbonation, and filling lines where process consistency directly affects product quality.
Smart Connectivity for Modern Food Production
As food and beverage manufacturers invest in smarter, more connected production lines, pressure instrumentation needs to keep pace. The DCT 533 P and DCT 553 P bring IO-Link communication to hygienic pressure measurement, enabling faster commissioning, remote parameterisation, and real-time diagnostics without additional wiring. For facilities using Modbus RTU networks, the DCT 531 P provides RS485 digital output with EHEDG certification and IP 67/IP 69 ingress protection. These transmitters support the shift towards Industry 4.0 in food processing, giving maintenance and operations teams better visibility into instrument health and process performance.
Precision Measurement for Brewing, Dairy, and Bottling
Brewing, dairy processing, and bottling operations each present unique pressure monitoring challenges, from carbonation control and fermentation vessel management to aseptic filling and pasteuriser regulation. The x|act ci precision pressure transmitter uses a capacitive ceramic sensor with a 99.9% Al2O3 diaphragm, providing outstanding media stability and high overpressure capability. It accepts a wide range of hygienic process connections including Varivent, dairy pipe, and Clamp fittings. Where safety-critical applications require SIL 2 compliance, the x|act i adds functional safety certification to IEC 61508/IEC 61511 alongside HART communication and intrinsic safety (Ex ia) for hazardous area installations.
Hygienic Pressure Gauges for Local Monitoring
Not every measurement point needs a transmitter connected to the control system. For local pressure indication on vessels, pipelines, and process skids, the BAROLI 05 P battery-powered digital pressure gauge provides a practical, hygienic solution. Its flush-welded stainless steel diaphragm and FDA-approved food-compatible oil filling make it suitable for direct contact with food and beverage media. The rotatable housing, min/max function, and configurable pressure units give operators the flexibility they need for quick checks during production and maintenance without compromising hygiene standards.
