In production scenarios such as beverage brewing, CIP (Clean-in-Place) pipeline cleaning, and media interface detection, maintaining hygienic compliance and measurement stability is critical. The Endress+Hauser Smartec CLD18 is an integrated measurement system specifically engineered for the beverage industry, offering an economical and reliable inductive measurement solution.
01 Integrated Design and Practical Implementation
The Smartec CLD18 features a compact, all-in-one design that combines the sensor and transmitter into a single unit. This structure is optimized for small pipe installations and does not restrict media flow.
-
Inductive Principle: The system utilizes a ring-shaped inductive measurement principle, which provides high resistance to interference and requires minimal maintenance.
-
Smart Connectivity: It supports IO-Link digital communication technology alongside standard 0/4…20mA analog signals.
-
Seamless Integration: The dual communication options allow for easy integration into both legacy systems and modern automated smart factories.
