AW-Lake flow meters are trusted in the aerospace and aviation industry, where they ensure precise measurement and control of fuel, hydraulic fluids, and other critical liquids and gases. They play a vital role in maintaining optimal performance, ensuring safety, and enhancing fuel efficiency.
Utilizing advanced optical and microprocessor technology, ProScan produces a linearized 4-20 mA output that can be tailored to a wide range of applications. The sensor attaches directly to the process line and allows real-time, in-line analysis of fluid streams. The sapphire lens and 316 stainless steel construction will withstand the high temperatures, rapid temperature fluctuations and chemical agents typical in food processes. The simple design allows plant personnel to install, tune and maintain it with ease.
ProScan can be installed virtually anywhere in the production or waste stream where it is important to detect process interfaces, monitor turbidity or measure product concentrations. In pasteurizer lines, a popular installation site is downstream of the HTST.
The ProScan signal can be used to switch valves and direct the liquid stream to the filler, recirculate it or divert to drain. ProScan is also a valuable tool to control CIP pre rinse cycles and maximize product recovery. The simple NIR sensor helps processors recover as much product as possible before initiating cleaning and helps to ensure expensive chemicals are added at the appropriate time. In addition, ProScan can act as an excellent monitor of BOD loading on waste lines. From receiving lines and pasteurizing lines to filling lines and waste lines, ProScan offers an economical solution to your process control needs.
- Highly Accurate: The ProScan sensor utilizes NIR technology to accurately and instantly detect product transitions, monitor turbidity and measure product concentrations at all stages of your liquid process.
- Non-Intrusive Monitoring: Utilizing advanced optical technology, ProScan sends a beam of light into the process and measures the backscatter. The intensity of this scatter is proportional to solids concentration.
- Improved Automation: ProScan acts as an eye in your process to allow real-time process control and enable improved product quality, productivity and ROI.
- 3-A Sanitary: ProScan is authorized to bear the 3-A symbol for Standard #46: Refractometers and Energy Absorbing Optical Sensors for Milk and Milk Products.

Real-World Applications
Dairy Processing
AW-Lake’s ProScan Optical Turbidity Sensor provides in-line, real-time monitoring needed to measure the fat cells in the line as it flows to pinpoint exactly when to divert the material to either the sewer or to holding/recovery tanks. This in turn results in significant cost savings from local sewer municipalities, which charge more for this type of organic waste because of the additional processing required.
Brewing Process
The ProScan optical turbidity sensor is crucial in beer or cider brewing operations for real-time monitoring of product consistency. As the beverage flows through the production line, the sensor continuously measures the turbidity or cloudiness, indicating the presence of particles. This data helps detect any deviations from the desired clarity, signaling potential issues like contamination or improper filtration. By providing immediate feedback, the sensor ensures consistent quality, aiding brewers in maintaining the flavor, appearance, and overall quality of the beer or cider.
