IFM ’ s new longer-tip conductivity sensors simplify CIP
Particularly suited for use in CIP ( cleaning-in-place ) applications in the food and beverage industries , the new LDL201 conductivity sensors from ifm electronic have a 77mm long sensing tip which makes them versatile and easy to install in a variety of hygienic process connections . In addition , the tip features solid PEEK construction which virtually eliminates the risk of breakage even if the sensor is subjected to high levels of stress .
Typical applications for the new LDL201 sensors include monitoring / control of cleaning agents , checking rinse water for residues and product validation . Since the sensors allow improved process control to be achieved , they typically enable users to cut costs by reducing energy usage during CIP cycles , along with the consumption of water and cleaning agents .
LDL201 sensors have a conductivity measuring range of 100 µ S / cm to 1000 mS / cm and feature an integrated temperature sensor . They have a continuous operating temperature of -25 to + 100 º C and a maximum of 150 º C < 1 hr . They are provided with an IO-Link interface which provides loss- and error-free transmission of measured conductivity and temperature values . IO-Link also allows easy parameterisation , which not only aids initial set up but also makes it quick and easy to adjust settings to accommodate recipe changes .
With food-grade material used for all parts exposed to the media in which they are being used , ifm ’ s new conductivity sensors meet EHEDG , FDA and 3-A standards . They are available for fast delivery and are complemented by a wide range of accessories . These include welding adapters , clamps , hygienic pipe fittings and pre-terminated connecting cables .
