We have a 1200l/h continuous flow pasteuriser here but as yet we're still manually bottling, so if we're not fully staff it's necessary to throttle the output to keep up, so far we've been using drilled out butterfly valves, but they have no discrete steps, it's a bit all-or-nothing and fiddling.
That is, until today...
I installed an Invertek VFD on the product pump, then i added a 3 position switch on a remote box down in the bottling room giving us speed selection at point of bottling, it's customisable but currently 500l/h, 800l/h and 1100l/h. You can override it with a panel switch on the machine to run full bore at 2500l/h to fully clean all the pipework.
Very pleased with myself
