New pressure sensor and level

switches - clean and colourful

he special challenges faced by
the food and pharmaceutical
Tindustries result from the wide
diversity of their processes. Success
depends on the consistency and
continuity of the production processes –
whether it be mixing, filling, evaporating
or CIP and SIP cleaning. That’s why
longevity and reliability are also in the
focus when selecting measurement
technology components. An industrial
metrology specialist is now introducing
a new compact and simple instrument
series consisting of pressure sensors and
level switches that bring colour into play.

TAILORED TO STANDARD
APPLICATIONS
VEGA has now completed its

on dependability, hygiene or accuracy.
The new measuring instruments
are perfectly tailored to standard
applications that nevertheless do not
tolerate compromises when it comes
to quality. Their standardised hygienic
adapter system (see info box) provides
flexibility and helps keep installation
work and parts inventory at a reasonable
level. The process fittings can be
selected as needed and adapted to local
requirements.

READY FOR CLEANING
All surfaces of sensors that come into
contact with the product are made of
stainless steel and have optimal surface
roughness values. All materials across
the board are approved and tested
according to FDA and EC 1935/2004. This The standardised, flexible hygienic adapter system of the new instrument series reduces not only
is confirmed by independent laboratories the amount of work involved but also the size of the spare parts inventory.
