Monitoring conductivity in a CIP plant
Ensuring process steps in process plant cleaning
Conductivity sensors are ideally suited for use in the food industry. They detect the conductivity and concentration of different media and can differentiate between e.g. cleaning agents, rinsing water and the food product. This not only makes it possible to constantly track the product, but also to reduce the waste of product and rinsing water, without making any sensor adjustments. Precise, fast and reliable process measurements help to improve plant availability and optimise cleaning cycles.
In order to stay competitive, it is important to minimise production downtime without compromising the safety and quality of the product. Monitor detergent concentration and completed chemical flush out of the line. Conductivity can be used to detect the phase separation between rinsing water, caustic or acidic CIP solutions and the product. Only a measurable difference in the media’s conductivity is required.
New radar level sensor: Reliable monitoring of closed tanks, excellent for CIP/SIP
The new radar level sensor LW2720 sets new benchmarks for speed and accuracy. A standard M12 cable, fast parameter setting using IO-Link and a large selection of adapters allows for a simple, customized and quick set up. Also, different media do not have a detrimental effect on measurements. Even the high-speed filling or emptying of tanks are registered by the radar sensor thanks to the 80GHz technology – fast, with high precision and without blind zones.
