Accurately measuring free chlorine with the RC68 sensor is crucial in the food and beverage industry. Free chlorine acts as the active disinfectant, killing bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. The RC68 sensor provides continuous and precise measurements, ensuring chlorine levels stay within the optimal range. This accuracy prevents over-chlorination, which can affect product quality and safety, as well as under-chlorination, which can lead to contamination. The sensor’s robust design and integrated temperature compensation ensure reliable performance, thus maintaining high standards of food and beverage safety and quality. Using the RC67 sensor to measure total chlorine is essential for comprehensive water quality management in food and beverage production. Total chlorine includes both free chlorine and chloramines, which form when chlorine reacts with organic matter. Chloramines can reduce disinfection effectiveness and cause off-flavors or odors in products. The RC67 sensor provides accurate and comprehensive monitoring, allowing operators to effectively manage chlorine levels. This capability ensures timely adjustments in chlorine dosing and necessary treatments, maintaining product safety and quality while protecting the health of consumers and extending the lifespan of production equipment.Free Chlorine Sensor for Food and Beverage
