In food and beverage production, ensuring efficient, uninterrupted operations is crucial. Acoustic inspection and monitoring offer practical solutions for detecting compressed-air leaks, monitoring mechanical performance, and identifying gas leaks, all of which support smooth operations and reduce unnecessary costs.
Food and beverage facilities benefit from a data-driven approach to maintenance. With acoustic monitoring, early identification of issues helps technical teams address problems before they escalate, leading to fewer unplanned disruptions and reduced maintenance costs. By moving from reactive to proactive maintenance, teams save valuable time and resources, optimizing productivity across the facility.
In food and beverage production, maintaining smooth operations, safety, and efficiency is essential. Production sites often face challenges such as detecting compressed-air leaks, identifying mechanical issues, and monitoring gas emissions—all of which impact product quality and energy efficiency.
For example, compressed air is a critical resource in food processing and packaging, and undetected leaks can drive up energy costs while reducing output efficiency. Acoustic inspection enables early detection of these issues, allowing maintenance teams to proactively address them, streamline operations, and reduce costs across the facility.
While some areas in food and beverage facilities do not require explosion-proof equipment, some high-risk zones with flammable or potentially explosive materials benefit from ATEX-certified acoustic devices. For these designated Ex Zones 1 and 2, Sorama offers ATEX-certified acoustic cameras, providing safe, continuous monitoring of hazardous areas. This allows teams to inspect and respond to issues remotely, reducing unnecessary staff exposure to dangerous zones. With this combination of general and ATEX-compliant devices, Sorama supports safe, efficient operations across the food and beverage industry.
In preventative maintenance, anomaly detection is key, but mechanical issues can be challenging to identify amid industrial noise. Acoustic sensors and sound cameras visualize sound origins, making it easier to locate mechanical anomalies even in loud environments. Using this technology reduces unplanned downtime costs, as early detection allows for timely and cost-effective maintenance actions.
Gas leaks can pose serious risks due to their potential toxicity and flammability, making early inspection crucial. Acoustic equipment enables proactive gas leak monitoring by capturing sound changes that precede gas spreading through a facility. Unlike traditional gas meters that detect leaks only after dispersion, sound sensors identify issues in their earliest stages, often well before human perception.
Compressed air is used extensively across food and beverage facilities, but leaks can reduce efficiency and lead to significant energy costs. In loud production environments, acoustic cameras can localize leaks quickly, enabling maintenance teams to make necessary repairs and reduce waste. This early inspection minimizes operational costs and keeps equipment running smoothly.
Partial discharge is often an invisible hazard, requiring close monitoring to prevent potentially severe incidents, especially in critical areas. Sound cameras allow teams to safely identify and address partial discharge issues before they escalate, improving safety and operational reliability across facilities.
The Sorama L642 is a fixed acoustic monitoring system for continuous noise and sound source analysis in industrial and environmental settings. The Sorama L642Ex (ATEX-certification pending) provides the same advanced capabilities in Ex zones for safe leak detection, partial discharge, and mechanical monitoring.
The Sorama CAM iV64s is a handheld acoustic camera designed for mobile inspections of gas and air leaks, as well as mechanical diagnostics, detecting both audible and ultrasonic frequencies. In Ex zones, the Sorama CAM iV64Ex (ATEX-certification pending) delivers precise detection and visualization for enhanced safety and predictive maintenance.
