TC^® ServCon – Individual service- and support concepts to maintain the hygiene standard and save resources 
onvi-CONTROL^® – An online biofilm sensor for monitoring the actual microbiological 

1. Status Quo

„Microbiological problems“ is a broad collective term for a variety of phenomena that can have long-lasting negative effects on production processes and product quality. In the beverage industry, the entire production process must be free from microbiological contamination in order to ensure the required product quality is achieved and continuously maintained. 
The laboratory-based analytical methods commonly used to secure the required hygiene standard only provide time-delayed snapshots and are therefore relatively limited in their informative value.

In cooperation with our technology partner, Onvida GmbH, we have been able to usefully expand our service and support program TC^® ServCon with the biofilm sensor that allows you to achieve and maintain the best possible hygiene standard of your production plants and products at all times. 

2. Solution 

onvi-CONTROL^® is an online sensor system that continuously monitors the microbiological status of your production process providing information to the production data acquisition system. Microbiological problems are detected in real-time and preventive measures can be initiated immediately thus optimising the cleaning regime. Consequently water, energy and chemicals cost-savings can be achieved, the bottling machine production capacity increased and the highest hygiene standard sustained. 

onvi-CONTROL^® can be applied to a wide range of production areas including water and product pipelines, bottling process and cooling circuits.     
 
3. Your Advantages

• robust, chemically, mechanically and electrically inactive probe
• low-maintenance, easy-to-install device
• the efficiency of the cleaning procedures and the applied chemicals are quantified
• continuous inline measurement
• no sampling or additional resources required
• cleaning and sanitising measures can be initiated automatically
• real-time data on the actual hygiene status delivered to central data acquisition system
• Water, energy and chemical costs and product losses are reduced

4. Scope of service

The biofilm sensor onvi-CONTROL^® is a strategic expansion of our 
TC^® ServCon service and support program. It enables you as operator to continuously monitor and maintain the best possible hygiene level of your units. 

onvi-CONTROL^® is a low-maintenance sensor system specifically designed for long-term industrial use in compliance with the requirements of the hygienic design concept. The system monitors online the biofilm growth within your production line delivering real-time input to central data acquisitions systems. If predefined critical control limits are exceeded, appropriate countermeasures can be initiated immediately eliminating the risk of product contamination.
