Airline’s advanced IP69K-compliant products stand up to the toughest wash-downs.
Continuous operation of food processing equipment is essential to controlling
operational costs and optimizing productivity. In an environment requiring frequent
wash-downs with high-pressure/high-temperature water and the harsh detergents
that eliminate cross contamination, conventional components just don't hold up.
The result — increased maintenance costs and severely compromised productivity.
Airline has the solution with these advanced IP69K-compliant products:
|
Singular Controls N Series control devices & indicator lights - the ultimate in hygienic-conformance design.
|
 |
Easy-to-clean smooth surfaces are made from food-compatible materials that are resistant to cleaning agents. Special seals extensively prevent the penetration of product residue in the gaps between the fixed and moving parts, effectively preventing the formation of bacteria nests in places which cannot be accessed for cleaning. These IP69K-rated devices include pushbuttons, selector switches, controls, indicator lights and more. |

Schmersal BNS33S Coded-Magnet Sensor with Stainless Steel Housing
|
Designed for use as a safety interlock switch on movable
machine guards/articulating robot arms, each sensor set
has a multiple reed switch unit and a coded-magnet
actuator. The reed switches, wired in series, will only close
in the presence of their matched magnetic field array. Both switch and magnet
assemblies are sealed to IP69K standards. Their tamper-resistant design prevents
bypassing with a simple magnet or improperly coded magnetic field. In addition, the
BNS module features an optional built-in LED display of switch status, and a 1-meter
long prewired pigtail to assure sealing integrity. |

Omron introduces the E3ZM - the world's first food-grade 316L stainless steel compact photoelectric sensor.
|
 |
It meets the rigorous cleaning & hygiene requirements for food
processing, pharmaceutical and beverage industries. The
detergent and chemical-resistant case features minimal indents
and an easy-to-clean surface. These new sensors offer the same
blend of performance features of the entire E3Z family resulting
in a working sensor life shown to be 200 times longer than that
of sensors in conventional plastic or die cast housings. |
|
|
|
Omron's E2FM highly durable all-stainless proximity sensor.
|
 |
One-piece stainless steel housing with a head wall thickness of
0.8 mm (approx. 4x thicker than previous models) stands up to
wash-down with harsh chemicals. |

CL03 Clean Line Pneumatic Directional Control Valves by Bosch Rexroth
|
The Rexroth Clean Line series was specifically designed
to handle your high pressure wash-down applications.
The fiber reinforced subbases withstands detergents and
aggressive chemicals. There is space between the valve
protection covers making it easy to clean—and at the
same time there are no pockets where particles can collect. You can skip expensive cabinet mounting and mount your
valves closer to the actuators, thus reducing cycle time. With circuit cards integrated in each individual subbase, a valve
manifold is easily expanded up to 16 valves. Since each valve can be individually supplied with two different pressures,
one valve manifold can handle up to 32 different pressures! That means you can optimize your application, increasing
cycle time and saving on energy costs. |

Rexroth Cylinder Proximity Switch Series ST6 - Now Rated IP68 and IP69K
|
In order to expand the range of its potential applications, series ST6, also known as the Micro Series, has undergone a design change. All sensors ST6 with molded cables dated January 1, 2006 or later (date codes greater than 06W01) are now rated IP68 and IP69K. This change applies to all sensors ST6 whose part numbers are listed below.
Please note that ST6 sensors with electrical connectors retain their original ratings. Ratings of ST6 sensors with M8 or M12 connectors are limited by the protection rating of the connector. In general, all electrical connections should still be made in clean, dry areas. (M8 and M12 connectors are rated IP67.)

Meltric DecontactorTM Series Plugs, Receptacles and Electrical Connectors.
Decontactors are a combination plug, receptacle and disconnect switch in the same device. Using Meltric Decontactors to connect motors and other electrical equipment instead of hard-wiring can dramatically reduce equipment change-out related downtime. Built to withstand the harsh environments often found in the food industry, Meltric’s silver-nickel contacts, stainless steel components and chemical resistant housings help withstand corrosion caused by frequent wash-downs with caustic cleaners.
