U-Gage M25U ultrasonic sensor

The U-Gage M25U has 25mm smooth stainless steel barrel sealed to IP69K. It withstands the heat and high wash pressures of sanitary operations. It is the first ultrasonic sensor with both hygienic design using FDA-approved materials and IP69K rating for use in harsh environments. These features assure reliable performance in bottling plants and other demanding food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications. The sensoroperates over a wide temperature range of –20 to 70°C and can withstand high pressure sprays at up to 100 bar/10MP and harsh chemicals for cleaning. It uses stainless steel transducers to create and receive the ultrasonic signal instead of traditional ceramic transducers that cannot survive in washdown conditions. For easy cleaning and disinfecting, the smooth 316 stainless steel housing has no threading, gaps or seams to trap contaminants. ECOLAB certification is pending. The sensor detects presence or absence of clear or coloured containers during sanitizing or other clean-in-place procedures.
