PLUS Automation managing director Mark Weymouth discusses hygienic sensors for food processing applications, looking in particular at optical sensors from Satron which can drive huge cost savings in, for example, CIP applications, with payback periods in as little as two weeks to two months.
Satron's LUMINA product line is a range of optical transmitters. LUMINA products are an accurate real time measurement looking closer into the process and connected to the automation systems - robust transmitters with no need of regular maintenance.
LUMINA Turbidity sensors are a product family for measuring turbidity in different liquids, such as white water applications in the dairy industry.
Offering real-time turbidity measurement for precise quality control and process optimisation, the Turbidity VOM sensors are specifically designed for hygienic applications, and combine wide measurement range and minimal maintenance.
At Food Manufacturing Live, PLUS Automation also showed a number of sensor products from Contrinex and ReeR Safety.
