METTLER TOLEDO InPro X1 HLS: Advancing pH Measurement in Food and Beverage Processing

Reliable pH measurement is essential for maintaining product quality, process consistency and food safety. The METTLER TOLEDO InPro X1 HLS sensor uses patented X-Chip pH-sensing technology to provide fast, reliable measurements across the full pH range.

Unlike conventional glass electrodes, the InPro X1 HLS features a robust, glass-free design without a glass membrane or internal buffer. This helps reduce the risk of breakage and product contamination while minimizing maintenance requirements and measurement drift.

Food-Safe, Glass-Free Design

The InPro X1 HLS is designed for hygienic food and beverage applications, including dairy processing. Its composite construction withstands demanding process conditions, including clean-in-place (CIP) procedures.

Because the sensor does not use a glass membrane, it helps eliminate the risk of glass contamination caused by electrode breakage. This can support manufacturers in reducing the risk of product loss, recalls and unplanned production interruptions.

The sensor’s resistance to mechanical stress and cleaning chemicals makes it suitable for continuous, in-line pH measurement in demanding production environments.

Improved Process Control and Product Yield

In-line pH measurement provides process information in real time, helping operators monitor critical process steps and respond quickly to changes. The InPro X1 HLS can support:

• Consistent product quality

• Improved process control

• Reduced batch variability

• Higher product yield

• Lower maintenance requirements

Its low-maintenance design helps simplify routine operation and may extend the time between calibration and sensor replacement.

Hygienic Compliance and Easy Integration

The InPro X1 HLS is designed to meet the requirements of hygienic food and beverage processing. Depending on the sensor configuration and applicable regional requirements, it can support compliance with recognized standards and regulations, including 3-A, EHEDG and EC 1935/2004.

Its hygienic design enables straightforward installation and integration into existing process measurement systems. This helps manufacturers simplify equipment qualification, support quality management procedures and reduce implementation complexity.

Intelligent Sensor Management

Integrated ISM™ digital technology from METTLER TOLEDO provides advanced sensor management and diagnostic functions. These include:

• Dynamic Lifetime Indicator (DLI) for predictive maintenance planning

• Interference-free digital signal transmission

• Plug and Measure functionality

• Easy calibration with iSense software

• Self-diagnostics and system alerts

• Titanium solution ground to help minimize electrostatic interference

• Automatic temperature compensation

These functions help operators identify potential sensor issues before they affect production. They also support longer calibration intervals, efficient maintenance and reliable measurement performance throughout the sensor’s service life.

A Reliable Solution for Food and Beverage Applications

The METTLER TOLEDO InPro X1 HLS combines glass-free pH measurement, hygienic construction and intelligent sensor diagnostics in one solution. Its robust design helps protect products from glass contamination, while its digital technology supports reliable operation and simplified maintenance.

For food and beverage manufacturers, the InPro X1 HLS provides a practical way to improve process monitoring, support product consistency and maintain high standards of food safety.

METTLER TOLEDO offers the measurement expertise and process analytics solutions needed to help manufacturers optimize hygienic production processes.
