PL20H

๐Ÿงช What This Data Means โ€” For Quick Client Selection

โœ” Hygienic-grade for food & pharma

Its polished 316L stainless steel body and hygiene approvals make it suitable for milk, whey, beer, beverages, WFI, APIs, and other sanitary media.

โœ” Works even in foam / sticky fluids

Capacitive technology automatically compensates for coatings, foams, syrups, gels, creams, and viscous products โ€” ideal for hygienic tanks and mixers.

โœ” CIP/SIP ready

With up to 140 ยฐC tolerance, the PL20H handles hot cleaning cycles โ€” critical for breweries, dairy plants, pharma reactors, and filling machines.

โœ” IO-Link smart functionality

Enables digital configuration, remote diagnostics, switching-point adjustment, and batch traceability โ€” preferred in automated OEM systems.

โœ” Compact for tight installations

Short insertion depth and multiple hygienic process connections allow installation in small tanks, pipelines, filling heads, and skids.

โœ” Fast detection

Quick switching enables filling accuracy, pump protection, valve control, and high-speed packaging operations.

โœ” Ideal for:

  • Dairy processing (milk tanks, separators, pasteurizers)

  • Beverage lines (breweries, carbonated drinks, juice plants)

  • Pharma mixing tanks & reactors

  • CIP/SIP systems

  • Viscous media like sauces, creams, gels

  • OEM hygienic filling & dosing machines
