A hygienic stainless-steel enclosure designed to be resistant to corrosion from cleaning agents, chemicals, and acidic substances commonly found in food and beverage processing environments will be on display at foodpro this year.
Designed especially designed for the Laumas TLM8 series weight transmitters – the Laumas CASTLM813A from ADM Instrument Engineering – has been certified for use in wash-down food and beverage processing applications and has an ingress protection (IP) rating of IP69K. The resistance ensures that the equipment maintains its functionality and longevity over time.
The IP69K IP rating indicates the ability of these enclosures to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets and complete protection against dust ingress. This is particularly important in food and beverage applications due to the stringent hygiene and cleanliness requirements in these industries.
Food processing facilities and commercial kitchens require regular and thorough cleaning to maintain strict hygiene standards. These IP69K-rated enclosures can withstand the high-pressure water jets used during washdown procedures, ensuring that no water penetrates the load cell transmitters and causes damage.
In food and beverage environments, dust, dirt, and other particulates are common. Laumas’ IP69K-rated enclosures provide a high level of protection against dust ingress, preventing any contaminants from compromising the equipment's performance or contaminating the food or beverages being processed.
The rugged design and high protection level of IP69K makes it less prone to failure due to water or dust ingress. By using such equipment, food and beverage companies can minimise equipment downtime and production interruptions, leading to increased operational efficiency and productivity.
ADM Instrument Engineering will be exhibiting at stand P52.
