Critical Technical Advantages
-
Optimized Value Engineering: The TM401 focuses on the core requirements of sanitary processes, offering a non-replaceable sensor insert. This design choice reduces complexity and cost, providing a reliable “fit and forget” solution for less critical process points.
-
Comprehensive Hygienic Compliance: Despite its entry-level positioning, the device is fully certified according to 3-A, EHEDG, ASME BPE, and FDA standards. This ensures that wetted materials and process connections meet the highest requirements for cleanability and contamination prevention.
-
Extreme Washdown Resistance: With a protection rating of up to IP69K, the TM401 is built to survive the harshest cleaning cycles. It can withstand high-pressure steam cleaning and aggressive detergents commonly used in CIP (Clean-in-Place) procedures.
-
Broad Integration Options: The thermometer supports a wide range of standard hygienic process connections, including clamps, weld-in adapters, and Varivent systems. This modularity allows for quick integration into existing sanitary piping without requiring custom modifications.
-
High Pressure Capability: Capable of withstanding process pressures up to 50 bar (725 psi), the TM401 is suitable for a variety of applications ranging from simple storage tanks to pressurized process lines.
