Milk

Sugar

Demanding requirements inmilk processing

The highest qualityin the sugar industry

Milk is one of the most important staple foods. It can be processed into many different products such as cheese, yoghurt, ice cream or milk powder.

Reliable processing is essential in order to obtain a high-quality end product, with quality and food safety playing a decisive role. Sensors are an important element of these processes, for example when separating, homogenising or pasteurising milk.

Sensors from ifm comply with required approvals such as EHEDG or 3A. In addition, they are resistant to CIP / SIP cleaning processes. A wide range of adapters enables easy and hygienic integration into the process equipment.

Many innovative solutions are required to manufacture products with consistently high quality.

ifm offers a wide range of solutions for the sugar industry, including assembly and corresponding process adaptors, as well as proper connection technology, thereby enabling total quality and reliability in application.

Beverages

Meat

Sensors for themeat industry

In most cases beverages are manufactured in individual, highly-automated processes. One of the most complex food processes is that of brewing beer.

Reliable sensors guaranteeing maximum process safety are required here so that a high-quality product results without quality fluctuations. ifm offers solutions for all areas of the manufacture of beverag-es. From the process and the bottling or canning of the beverages to packaging and conveying.

Sensors from ifm comply with required approvals such as EHEDG or 3A. In addition, they are resistant to CIP / SIP cleaning processes. A wide range of adapters enables easy and hygienic integration into the process equipment.

The hygienic requirements in the meat-processing industry are particularly high. Frequent and intensive cleaning processes are normal.

High-quality housing materials of the sensors, e.g. high-grade stainless steel withstand the aggressive cleaning agents in the complete process.

The sensors remain ingress-resistant even in case of steam cleaning thanks to the high protection rating IP 69K. The reliable ifm sensors allow downtime to be kept to a minimium and productivity maximised.

Sensors from ifm comply with required approvals such as EHEDG or 3A. A wide range of adapters enables easy and hygienic integration into the process. Suitable connectors with high-quality housing materials and protection rating IP 69K complete the product range.

Critical machine parts such as gearboxes can be monitored by means of vibration analysis to ensure the early detection of damage and to prevent a possible total failure.The compact diagnostic system efector octavis evaluates the vibration signals according to methods of frequency analysis.

The speed monitors from ifm electronic are used for speed monitoring, e.g. in the sugar industry. An inductive sensor which detects a damping cam on the shaft is used as pulse pick-up. The speed monitors calculate the rotational speed by evaluating pulses. If the current values are above or below the set limit values, the transistor and relay outputs are switched. This allows, for example, reliable overspeed and standstill detection.

IO-Link is a fieldbus-independent point-to-point connection. Via IO-Link, digital, reliable and loss-free transmis-sion of the parameters is ensured.The signal transfer from the sensor to the controller is possible without any problem.For the transfer of an analogue signal to the PLC several conversions from analogue to digital and vice versa are necessary.Type KI capacitive sensors detect the level in a cane sugar mill through a non-metal tank wall.

The O1D photoelectric sensor detects the sugar cane on the conveyor.Thanks to the photoelectric distance detection of a range of up to 10 m the sensor does not need to be installed directly at the conveyor belt.The O1D is used wherever distances or levels have to be detected.

In industrial processes valves are needed for dosing and control. Pneumatic valve actuators are normally used for mechanical positioning. The valve position must be monitored electronically.The T5 range contains two inductive sensors for “open / close” detection of an actuator movement by means of target pucks. The digital output controls the solenoid valve of the pneumatic valve actuator.

The O1D photoelectric distance sensor detects the vertical roller position in a sugar mill. It is easy to install and has two switching outputs, one of which can be configured alternatively as analogue output.The vertical roller position in a sugar mill is usually detected via position transmitters. They detect the target value which is needed to control the water quantity, for example. The position transmitters do not detect the position reliably, however, and in addition they have a high purchase price.
