PACKAGING, FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document serves as a comprehensive guide on sensors and accessories used in the packaging, food, and beverage industry, focusing on food safety and hygiene standards. It provides detailed specifications and applications of various sensors in different food contact zones.
Food Safety and Contact Zones: Emphasizing the importance of food safety, the document outlines guidelines to prevent contamination across three primary food contact zones: Food Zone (direct contact), Splash Zone (indirect contact), and Non-Food Zone (no contact). Each zone requires specific hygiene and sanitation solutions.
Standards and Certifications: The document discusses certifications such as IP69K, FDA, 3-A, and EHEDG, which ensure equipment meets hygiene and safety standards. Ecolab certification is highlighted for resistance to cleaning agents.
Sensors and Specifications: Detailed specifications of sensors, including inductive, capacitive, ultrasonic, and photoelectric sensors, are provided. Key parameters include dimensions, range, switching frequency, housing material, and protection degree. Approvals and conformity standards like CE, cULus, and Ecolab are listed.
Applications and Recommendations: Recommendations for selecting appropriate sensors based on food contact zones and production processes are provided, emphasizing hygienic design in open processes to prevent contamination.
Conclusion: The document acts as a technical guide for selecting and implementing sensors in the food and beverage industry, ensuring compliance with safety and hygiene standards.
Photoelectric Sensors Overview: The document provides technical specifications for various photoelectric sensors used in packaging, food, and beverage industries, detailing dimensions, optical features, beam characteristics, light types, ranges, connections, housing materials, and approvals.
Specifications:
  • Dimensions: Sensors come in various sizes, including 20 x 32 x 9 mm, 23 x 51 x 52.4 mm, and Ø 18 x 75 mm.
  • Optical Features: Sensors utilize diffuse sensor triangulation and coaxial optics for transparency detection.
  • Beam Characteristics: Options include divergent and collimated beams, with focused beams typical at specific distances.
  • Light Type: Sensors use LED or laser red light, with light spot sizes varying from Ø 1.2 mm to 600 x 600 mm.
  • Range: Detection ranges vary from 1 mm to 20 m, depending on the model.
  • Connection: Connections include M8x1 and M12x1 connectors, with cable lengths up to 2.00 m.
  • Housing Material: Materials include stainless steel, PC ABS, and ABS, with sensing surfaces made of PMMA or glass.
  • Operating Voltage: Sensors operate within 10…30 VDC.
  • Approval/Conformity: Certifications include CE, cULus, Ecolab, EAC, and WEEE compliance.
Applications: These sensors are suitable for environments requiring precise detection and measurement, such as packaging lines and food processing facilities.
Connectivity Products: The document outlines connectivity products with protection degrees of IP67 and IP69K, ensuring high resistance to dust and water. Products are FDA compliant and conform to Ecolab, CE, EAC, and WEEE standards.
Product Details: Lists multiple product codes with specific connection types, cable lengths, and operating voltages. Connections include M12x1-Female and 7/8”-Female, with variations in pole numbers and coding. Cable temperatures range from -50 to 105°C for fixed routing and -25 to 105°C for flexible routing.
Mounting Systems: Describes sensor holders and base holders made of stainless steel, suitable for various sensor sizes and mounting rods, designed for clamping cylinders and customizable sizes.

Packaging, food and beverage | 5 Splash Zone Washdown Zone Closed Process Non-Food Zone Food Zone Non-Food Zone Food Zone FOOD CONTACT ZONES CLOSED AND OPEN PRODUCTION There are three primary food contact zones in the production process. The food contact zones define the level of potential contamination that could occur based on the amount of contact with foodstuffs the production equipment is exposed to. Identifying the proper food contact zone is vital in specifying the proper solution for the application. nn Food Zone This is the surface in direct contact with food or where other substances...
