Anderson Negele offers a comprehensive line of paper and paperless process recorders designed specifically for sanitary food, beverage, dairy, brewing, and life science applications. These recorders document critical process parameters—such as temperature, pressure, flow, level, and conductivity—to support quality control, regulatory compliance, and operational transparency.
Traditional paper chart recorders, such as the AJ 300 and AV 9000, provide reliable, mechanical documentation using circular charts for plants that still prefer or require physical media. In contrast, the PPR Paperless Process Recorder is a fully digital, tamper proof, audit ready solution that replaces paper charts entirely and integrates seamlessly with Legendary™ cloud software to automate recordkeeping and compliance.
Key Benefits
1.) Paperless PPR Recorders (Digital Process Recording)
Modern, Secure, Automated Data Capture
- Records process values continuously with no manual intervention, eliminating problems with faded charts or inconsistent entries.
- Digital records are tamper‑proof and comply with modern data integrity requirements.
- Real‑time trending and alarms available directly on the PPR touchscreen.
Cloud-Enabled Compliance (Legendary™ Software)
- Enables remote review, annotation, and approval of process records.
- Provides secure long‑term cloud storage with user‑role authentication.
- Standardized PMO‑compliant workflows support state and third‑party audits.
Regulatory Confidence
- First digital process recorder to earn M‑b 383 certification (April 2023) for PMO compliance in dairy pasteurization applications.
Operational & Cost Efficiency
- Eliminates recurring costs for paper, pens, motors, and mechanical components.
- Reduces downtime caused by mechanical failures and clogs in traditional chart mechanisms.
2.) Paper Chart Recorders (Mechanical Recording)
Reliable Mechanical Documentation
- Devices such as the AJ‑300 and AV‑9000 use 12" circular charts to record one or multiple parameters.
- Provide physical records where paper documentation is still required by internal procedures or regulators.
Simple Operation & Proven Technology
- Easy to set up and operate, with robust mechanical design suitable for daily plant use.
- Long history of use in sanitary processing, offering familiarity and confidence.
Variety of Configurations
- Available as single‑ or dual‑channel recording controllers. Options for annotating, programming profiles, or integrating with alarms and batch control systems.
Common Uses
Dairy Processing (PMO‑Regulated Environments)
- Recording pasteurization temperatures, holding‑tube pressures, divert valve conditions, and CIP parameters.
- PPR supports PMO Appendix H workflows and automated annotation/approval for audit‑ready records.
Food & Beverage Production
- Monitoring cooking temperatures, fermentation profiles, tank pressures, separator control, or filter status.
- Paper or paperless options depending on plant preference or regulatory needs.
CIP/SIP Process Validation
- Inline recording of cleaning temperature, conductivity, and timing—critical for validating sanitation cycles.
- Digital records prevent gaps and ensure data integrity required for quality audits.
Brewing & Wine Production
- Monitoring heat exchanger temperatures, fermentation curves, pressure profiles, and product transitions.
- Turbid, temperature‑sensitive, or multi‑phase process steps benefit from continuous digital recording.
Life Sciences & Personal Care Industries
- Recording batch temperatures, reactor profiles, filtration parameters, and sterilization cycles.
- Paperless PPR helps meet electronic recordkeeping requirements and audit traceability expectations.
Summary
Anderson‑Negele’s portfolio of paper and paperless process recorders provides a complete range of solutions for sanitary processors needing reliable, compliant, and easily reviewable process documentation.
- Paper chart recorders deliver proven, mechanical reliability and tangible documentation for facilities still using physical charts.
- The PPR Paperless Process Recorder modernizes process monitoring with secure digital records, automated data storage, cloud‑based review workflows, and industry‑leading PMO compliance (including M‑b 383 certification).
Together, these systems support quality assurance, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and audit‑ready recordkeeping across dairy, food, beverage, brewing, and life‑science industries.
