The United States’ ice cream industry is selling more than one billion gallons of ice cream every year, giving out cones, huge cartons that can hold a gallon, pints, sundaes and many different desserts containing ice cream via ice cream shops and grocery stores. It is estimated that, up to 8% of all the milk that is produced in the country is consumed to make a frozen dairy product. Although ice cream can be made at home, but it is a very complex procedure and the time it takes to prepare can be unnerving. So people prefer to buy it from their local grocery store, ice cream shops or the ice cream vans.

Manufacturing ice creams in factories is not an easy job either, but since there are people employed to perform specific roles, it can be produced in a massive quantity. It all starts with the arrival of milk in the factory. Specifically built tankers carry all the milk from the dairy farms and unload it in the special containers present in the factory. For the best records and consumption in measurement, every liter is measured by the liquid level indicator. It helps the staff to learn about the quantity of milk that has arrived. Learning about the availability of the amount of milk helps them in planning the production and setting targets.

Ice cream cannot be made without ice cream mix. That is the second basic ingredient and most of the factories buy it ready made to save time. Since it is made by adding a variety of materials, it is a hectic task to produce and is done best by the factories that specialize in making it. Factories making ice cream buy them in bulk as it saves them time, money and space also. If they (ice cream factories) would consider making the mix on their own, they would have to start an entire new department and the setup would not be cheap either.

For the best results every process is carefully measured using the ultrasonic level indicator. Since it is a non contact measuring device and the ultrasonic rays do not harm the product or humans, it can be easily used without any fear. The non contact measuring device provides an edge because there is no chance of any contamination due to it. Milk is very sensitive to contamination and can easily be destroyed so the ultrasonic level indicator plays a vital role during the entire process.
