Level sensor for demanding hygienic applications

September 2015 Level Measurement & Control

Exact level measurement in heavily foaming media is no problem for ifm’s new LR2750 level sensor for hygienic applications. The device was specially developed for demanding applications in the food industry. It features a hygienic design and resists aggressive cleaning processes. In addition, the sensor is equipped with an Aseptoflex Vario thread for a multitude of process adaptors.

Due to the use of high quality and insensitive sealing materials such as PEEK and EPDM, as well as the high-grade stainless steel housing, the new level sensor is suited for both internal and external cleaning. LR2750 meets IP69K requirements, has an enhanced pressure resistance of up to 40 bar and is also rated for temperatures up to 150°C. This makes the sensor extremely resistant to the adverse operating conditions encountered during steam cleaning.

An optional tank adjustment feature ensures extreme flexibility. Even if an installation proves to be difficult, the device operates precisely and reliably. Whether for storage tanks, expansion tanks, separators, or for filling, the sensor is suitable for use almost anywhere.
