IP69K Washdown Sensors
Solutions for food and beverage industry |
|
Balluff has a variety of sensor options for food and beverage to withstand high-pressure wash down, high temperatures, and caustic materials.
Made of highly durable PSU plastic composite - IP69K capacitive sensors - withstand washdown and resist coolants, oils, and chemicals. As part of Balluff’s SmartLevel™ technology, they are able to compensate for extensive material buildup, foaming, and filming.  Balluff's BOS 18E photoelectric sensors are designed for washdown situations where caustic substances (lactic, citric, hydrochloric or sulfuric acids) may corrode or melt photoelectric sensor enclosures and/or lenses. This makes the 18E series ideal for object detection in food and beverage applications.
