The differentiation between media plays an important role, especially in the food industry. Cleaning agents, rinsing water and food products located in process pipes have different conductivity values and can therefore be easily and reliably detected.
The conductivity sensor LDL100 for interface detection from ifm electronic ensures that product validation is possible at all times. Quick and reliable differentiation between the media leads to a reduction in wasted product and rinsing water. Other benefits include:
• Reduce inaccuracies associated with a time-based cleaning process.
• Improve process performance with flexible measurement points.
• Compact, high-quality sensor design prevents failures and unplanned downtime.
• Simplified installation and commissioning processes.
• Loss-free signal transmission of measurement values.
