FiberView Dairy Waste Sensor System
  • Reduces plant losses and increases yield and profit
  • Isolates operations with high loss
  • Allows quick response to loss events
  • Operators become more sensitive to losses
  • High Sensitivity: measures 0 to 1% solids
  • Uses blue light (470 nm) that responds to both casein and milk fat
  • All Stainless Steel construction
  • Easy calibration
  • Installs in effluent drains
  • Difficult locations are available using fiber optic stem length

FiberView Dairy Waste Sensor System reduces the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and sewage costs from improved operations practice. Less milk loss means reduced product shrink resulting in lower costs, higher yields, and higher profits.

The FiberView DWS System enables the location, occurrence or concentration of the discharge to be determined. It monitors solids concentration in dairy plant effluents in the range of 0 to 1% solids (or higher). It has a quick response to loss events and provides time to take corrective actions. Operators become sensitive to losses.


The FiberView sensor measures light backscatter using optical fibers as shown in the following sketch:

The FiberView DWS System is normally configured with an Anderson AJ-300 circular chart recorder. This provides a visual record of effluent solids concentration vs. time and alarm features.
