Capacitive level sensor with EHEDG certification
Sensor KA1244 (photo) has a hygienic-designed housing and is certified by the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG), with certification type EL Class I. The polyether ether ketone (PEEK) surface has the high-quality Ra 0.4 μm for smoothness and the PEEK conforms to EC 1935/2004 for traceability of the materials. The beveled-edge body design prevents the possibility of contamination around the weld mount or varivent adaptor. This allows the sensor to stay in place while the system is cleaned for a product changeover. A clean-in-place Tri-clamp mounting is also an option. The PEEK housing is FDA 21 CFR 177.2415 compliant for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. The sensor is pressure rated for 10 bars. Users can select either horizontal or vertical mounting. Applications include high- and low-level control of cereals, water, juice, wine, oil, shampoo, pharmaceutical chemicals and many other products. — Rechner Electronics Ind. Inc., Sanborn, N.Y.
