Conductivity Sensors

How can a conductivity sensor optimize processes, ensure product quality and save costs?

In many applications in the food and beverage industry, the measurement of the conductivity of products and of CIP media is the most suitable analysis technique for the hygienic inline detection and differentiation of liquids in the process. Another essential application is the control of the concentration of CIP cleaning agents and their automatic dilution.

The superior process efficiency is based on three essential performance characteristics of the ILM-4 Inductive Conductivity Sensor:

• The extremely short response time of 1.2 seconds for differentiation and phase transition of products or CIP media in real time.
• The superior measurement accuracy, resolution and temperature compensation for a verifiable cleaning quality.
• The superior product quality. The current generation ILM-4 is based on the experience of a series of predecessor models and has already proven its practicality and durability in thousands of applications even under the harshest conditions. In the most recent upgrade, the digital communication interface IO-Link was integrated in a special Flex-Hybrid technology.
