LITRE METER OFFERS DIGMESA FLOW METERS FOR UK COFFEE, VENDING AND DRINKS BUSINESSES

UK flowmeter specialist Litre Meter (www.litremeter.com) has introduced a range of flowmeters from Swiss manufacturer Digmesa which specialises in drink flow measurement.

Digmesa meters are used worldwide in coffee and vending machines and in bars and other establishments where drinks must be served in measured quantities. They are currently measuring the flow of fluids including water, coffee, tea, wine, beer, fruit juices, cola, mineral water and milk in locations from German Bierkellers to the airport in Sydney, Australia, where all drinks served in the bars are dispensed through Digmesa meters.

The meters offer a measuring accuracy of +/- 0.25 per cent, even in long term operation and across a temperature range from -10 to +120°C. The design is based on detection of electronic pulses generated by an impeller turned by the fluid flow. Different materials, bearings and electrical properties can be supplied to meet the needs of different applications, including variants that can be used to automatically switch off pumps or other equipment if flows fall below speficied levels.

The Digmesa product line complements the range of flowmeters built by Litre Meter in its own premises in Buckingham. The company offers a broad range of metering technologies suitable for virtually every liquid, gas or steam measurement application and has particular expertise in measuring low flow rates.

Alan Christie of Litre Meter said: “Litre Meter’s strength has traditionally been in flowmeters for particularly demanding situations, often with meters almost custom-designed and built for particular applications. Digmesa gives our customers access to an off-the-shelf range of accurate and robust meters which meet the needs of a vast range of drink vending, blending and dispensing applications.”

Digmesa have been specialists in dispensing coffee – for more than twenty years. An extensive range of products for every application: in Brass, Ryton or Arnite – for both commercial and domestic coffee machines.

CONSISTENT DISPENSING is just as important for an exquisite cup of coffee as a choice blend and careful roasting of the beans. And today no one knows more about it than we do. All over the world, flowmeters and high-tech controls made by Digmesa ensure that the coffee in the cup is of constantly high quality. Both for fully automatic and semi-automatic machines for commercial or private use.

IN ADDITION TO THE PROVERBIAL Swiss precision, there are other good reasons why leading manufacturers of commercial and domestic coffee machines place their trust in Digmesa: they can depend on us to have the right solution for every task. At a price that is guaranteed to be right.

Cold drinks represent a long-standing problem for catering businesses –for which we have the modern solution.

IN MANY CATERING BUSINESSES up to 25% of the draught cold drinks go over the counter unbilled. This dent in the finances is quite simple to avoid: with all-purpose flowmeters, combined with state-of-the-art evaluation electronics from Digmesa. This way, not a single glass gets overlooked. Our precision flowmeters are developed in line with the latest findings in drinks technology and offer maximum metering accuracy as well as outstanding value for money.

ALSO WHEN IT COMES TO DISPENSING BEER, we are the leaders with our flowmeters. They are available with optional foam sensor and were the first metering equipment of their type to be tested and approved by the German certification agency for drinks dispensing systems. And they ensure that a cold beer with a perfect head and balanced carbon dioxide content can be drawn in just 7 seconds.

We have an excellent grasp not only of metering and dispensing, but also of accurate electronic monitoring and evaluation.

WITH ITS IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING of the catering trade’s needs, Digmesa has also developed suitable peripheral equipment for coffee machines and dispensing systems. Based on state-of-the-art microprocessor electronics, our evaluation, monitoring and control systems facilitate integral management of the quantities flowing through. This also includes a flow computer with PC interface that even allows remote interrogation via modem.

TODAY AND IN THE YEARS TO COME, Digmesa is ensuring the satisfaction not only of machine and plant manufacturers, but also of the catering and restaurant trade and its guests. And most importantly of all: that the figures add up for all of them.
