Balluff-Leuze provides optoelectronic sensors with seal protection and material resistance to modern industrial food systems (food processing, filling and packaging), and certified to ECOLAB and IP69K standards, that can withstand a exposure to high-pressure equipment and aggressive cleaning and disinfection agents.
The IP 69K protection rating guarantees seal-tightness against sprayed water, but does not encompass the use of chemical additives such as alkalis or acids. In contrast, the Henkel-ECOLAB-Test F&E no. 40-1 encompasses the immersion of sensors in cleaning agents for several weeks, using a wide-ranging portfolio of different cleaning products.
According to the company, Series 3B, series 8, series 18, series 25B, series 46B and series 96 Metal sensors are ideally equipped to meet increasingly stringent hygiene requirements in the food industry, including ever shorter cleaning intervals, longer application periods and higher concentrations of cleaning agents but also new cleaning procedures such as gassing with H2O2.
