Ultrasonic sensors for sanitary environments

December 2011 Sensors & Transducers

Banner Engineering has introduced the U-GAGE M25U ultrasonic sensors. These are opposed mode ultrasonic sensor pairs specifically designed for use in sanitary environments. The sensors, rated IP69K and IP67 (NEMA 6), are constructed of heavy duty 316 stainless steel, allowing them to withstand the high pressure washdowns, severe temperatures and aggressive cleaning chemicals common in food and beverage applications.

With a smooth barrel housing – free of threads, gaps or seams that could accumulate debris – they allow thorough cleanup with minimal effort. IP68-rated washdown cordsets and FDA compliant brackets are also available to ensure reliable, long lasting performance in the harshest environment.

The M25U is the ideal solution for challenging applications such as clean-in-place procedures that require reliable sensing in washdown environments. It delivers all the advantages of conventional ultrasonic sensors – utilising sound waves to detect the presence of targets – while providing the most durable, robust design on the market. The ultrasonic technology also allows the sensor to reliably detect clear objects.

M25U sensors can be wired for either normal or high speed. Normal speed offers a longer sensing range, while high speed provides a shorter response time, ideal for high speed counting applications.

Applications include presence detection of clear or coloured containers during sanitising; food process monitoring; position monitoring; and aseptic bottling in contained environments.
