Inductive sensors with full stainless steel housing for the food industry
 
 

 
 Tough: extremely resistant to chemical influences and temperature shocks
  • Food-grade housing materials.
  • High ingress resistance IP 68 / IP 69K.
  • Wide temperature range: 0…100 °C.
  • Resistant to high-pressure cleaning and aggressive cleaning agents.
  • Lasered type label: permanently legible.


Ingress-resistant in hygienic and wet areas
The sensors for use up to 100 °C undergo frequent cleaning operations, temperature shocks and feature high resistance to cleaning agents.

Materials
The threaded body and the sensing face of the housing are made of high-grade stainless steel.

Application tests
A series of tests qualified the sensors for food applications:
• temperature shock test
• 1000-h long-term test
• steam boiler test

Watch the flash videos of some tests.
