Washdown Select Series

Washdown Select SeriesSensors, connectivity & traceability solutions for food & beverage

2

When working in automated food and beverage manufacturing

segments like dairy, meat, filling and bottling, components that can

survive in sanitary, hygienic and aseptic environments become

necessary. Specifications for equipment look to reduce and remove

areas for harboring bacteria. Poor survivability for automation

components during washdown can become a major cause of

downtime and lost production during changeovers and cleaning

processes.

Balluff is utilized to improve manufacturing automation in four distinct

applications inside a food and beverage facility: process automation,

factory automation, flexible manufacturing and traceability.

nSensing technologies like photoelectric, inductive, capacitive, and

linear position

n Industrial RFID technologies & connectivity technologies

n Individual products with testing & ratings:

FDA, 3A, EHEDG, ECOLAB

nRFID technologies can be used to support FSAM

Hazard Analysis & Risk-based preventive controls implementations

Process Automation

Detecting level and flow of media

in a tank or pipe can be done with

multiple technologies. Typically

hard to detect media like ketchup,

peanut butter, and powders are

easy for advanced SmartLevel

sensors.

Factory Automation

The Washdown environment can

cause havoc for general

automation components like

sensors. Having the right housing

materials and higher ingress

protection can help sensors

survive harsh washdown

processes.

Flexible Manufacturing

Variable lot sizes, multiple

package formats, infinite recipes.

There is an increasing demand

to individualize and customize

delivery of food & beverage

products. Automation

components like sensors and

industrial RFID help enable the

implementation of these go-to

market strategies.

Traceability

Traceability inside the plant is a

key component of modern

manufacturing. Industrial RFID

systems are used to track

information like: access to

equipment, how often the

equipment is cleaned, where

product is located, where product

came from, which change tooling

is installed, and what recipe is

being run.

Rugged with maximum performanceThe BOS 18E photoelectric sensors are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This makes them especially rugged and resistant to many cleaning agents and other chemicals. A special housing nose and optics construction provides optimum sealing and rigidity.

The optical element is available in plastic. The new BOS 18E series can thus be used for applications wherever other sensors reach their limits. Preferred areas of application are the foods and pharmaceutical industries.

Benefits

nHousing made of 1.4404 stainless steel (316L equivalent)

nOutstanding sealing quality: IP69K, IP68

nAvailable threaded or with smooth sleeve

nHygiene-compliant washdown design

nAvailable in all function principles
