Critical Technical Advantages
-
Flush-Mounted Design: The fully welded, flush-mounted 316L diaphragm eliminates crevices and minimizes the use of gaskets. This design prevents product entrapment and ensures the highest level of process safety in sanitary applications.
-
IO-Link Connectivity: The optional IO-Link interface significantly reduces complexity by allowing for digital parameterization and remote configuration through standard engineering systems. This facilitates faster device replacement and more granular diagnostic data.
-
CIP/SIP Compatibility: The PMP23 is engineered for the rigors of Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Steam-In-Place (SIP) cycles. It can withstand temperatures up to 135°C (275°F) for up to one hour, ensuring reliable performance even after frequent sterilization.
-
Rugged IP69 Protection: Designed for the harsh washdown conditions of food and beverage plants, the PMP23 can be ordered with an IP69 ingress protection rating, making it resistant to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
-
Certified Traceability: The device supports stringent hygienic documentation requirements with materials that conform to FDA, (EC) 1935/2004, and 3-A standards. Optional EN10204 3.1 material certificates are available for full traceability of all wetted components.
-
Precise and Stable: With an accuracy of ±0.3% and high long-term stability, the PMP23 provides the consistent data necessary for quality control in milk, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing.

Primary Applications
-
Food and Beverage Production: Pressure monitoring in pasteurizers, filling machines, and storage tanks for milk, juice, and soft drinks.
-
Pharmaceutical Utilities: Measuring pressure in sanitary water (WFI) loops and utility lines where flush sensors are required.
-
Filtration Systems: Monitoring the inlet and outlet pressure of sanitary filters to detect clogging or breakthrough.
-
Level Measurement in Small Tanks: Using hydrostatic pressure to determine the volume of liquids in small hygienic vessels or balancing tanks.
-
Washdown Zones: Any sanitary application where the exterior of the instrument is frequently cleaned with aggressive chemicals and high-pressure water.
