Hygienic position feedback at moulding, filling and sealing machines; Inductive sensor series IFBR with mounting concept in hygienic design!
 

• Inductive sensors with mounting concept in hygienic design – EHEDG- and FDA-compliant
• Extended product service life even at regular cleaning cycles and frequent temperature changes thanks to proTect+
• No restriction to cleaning agents and disinfectants – Ecolabapproved
• Extremely waterproof (IP 68/IP 69K) and resistant against high-pressure cleaning
• Advanced potential applications due to extended switching distance and temperature range from -40°C to +100°C (short-term)

Perfect for food and beverage packaging applications, Baumer Electric Sensors work!  The new sensors with their plane, groove-free V4A stainless steel housings as well as the mounting accessories are compliant with hygienic standards, Ecolab-approved, and the materials are FDA-compliant. Along with the range of EHEDG-certified reflectors and Ecolab-approved cables with protection class IP 69K, Baumer offers a complete solution for position detection in the food zone.

For applications in the splash zone Baumer offers adequate sensors with washdown design. These sensors are as resistant against detergents and high-pressure splash water as those in hygienic design, but they are mounted conventionally.

With the specifically developed impermeability concept proTect+ Baumer guarantees a higher sensor performance and life-time. For this purpose the sensors are exposed to continuously changing temperature cycles in addition to the IP 68 and IP 69K impermeability tests.

Inductive sensors have a particularly large operating temperature range from -40 to +80 °C. This offers versatile fields of application from the processing of frozen products to areas with CIP processes.

Processing and packaging food products need to meet demanding requirements.  Baumer has a broad offering of photoelectric, liquid level, inductive, and ultrasonic hygienic sensors designed to withstand chemicals and/or high pressure washdowns.

For volume measurement in meat and cheese processing, Baumer’s OADR 20 series of Laser Distance Measurement Sensors provides a high degree of accuracy and resolutions from 5 µm. Encased in a stainless steel housing, these sensors feature Baumer’s unique proTect+ impermeability design to ensure compliance with protection class IP68/IP69K, even after repeated temperature cycles.

Used to detect food items or packages on conveyor belts, Baumer Series 14 hygienic photoelectric sensors are available in standard models and in a version featuring SmartReflect, an award-winning light barrier that operates without a reflector and has a sensing distance of 800 mm.

Do you need an alternative to a vibrating fork swith?  In liquid level measurement applications, Baumer CleverLevel sensors are outstanding. Certified according to FDA, EHEDG, and 3A guidelines, these sensors offer 1.4404 stainless steel housings, matching PM023 weld-in boss, and PEEK plastic sensor tips that protrude only 18 millimeters into the container or tube to avoid flow blockage. LBFS versions feature standard output configurations and operate from -40 to +115°C, while LFFS versions withstand operating process temperatures from -40 to +200°C and are programmable using a separately ordered Flexprogrammer.

IP69K is a rating for applications that use high pressure and high temperature washdown to sanitize equipment.

IP69K was originally developed for road vehicles that needed regular and intensive cleaning. Garbage trucks, cement mixers - you get the idea. This rating is now popular within the food and beverage industry as well.

Are you looking for IP69K photoelectric sensors? We have them! Marshall Wolf Automation is your authorized industrial automation distributor for Leuze Electronics, Baumer and Carlo Gavazzi... all manufacturers of IP69K sensors!

We also have IP69K indicator lights and pushbuttons from Pizzato as well as LED light bars, work lights, industrial light towers, safety light curtains and much more.

Check out all of our IP69K Rated products!
 

IP69K ratings are generally required in environments where high pressure and high temperature washdowns are used to sanitize the equipment.

IP6 = products ability to resist ingress of dust

69K = products ability to resist ingress of high temperature/steam and high pressure water

If a product is rated IP69K it must be able to withstand high-pressure and steam cleaning. Applications that generally require this rating include food and beverage industries and applications that require intensive cleaning (road vehicles, etc.).

Marshall Wolf Automation is your authorized industrial automation distributor for a complete line of IP69K rated products including:

• IP69K Indicator lights
• Pushbuttons and selector switches
• IP69K Rated Enclosures
