IFM EFECTOR INTRODUCES NEW SANITARY FLOW METER FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

ifm announced the launch of its new sanitary magnetic-inductive flow sensor. Equipped with IO-Link, the SM Foodmag detects current flow rate, total volume, and flow direction and offers conductivity and temperature monitoring, ensuring quality by providing multiple measurements for increased process control.

The new sensor features a 3.5-inch display for monitoring up to four concurrent measurement values and has a standard M12 connection, ensuring a fast, waterproof connection to most data infrastructure. The app-based menu and guided installation allow users to set up the flow meter in less than 5 minutes without exposing electronics to harsh environments. It can withstand media temperature of 150° Celsius (302 ℉), and has a three-part design; customers will need to purchase the flow meter, an adapter, and a gasket of their choice.

The food and beverage industry has strict hygienic standards and harsh operating conditions. The SM Foodmag’s durability and reliability allow manufacturers to adhere to those standards, ensuring uninterrupted operation and compliance with industry regulations.

The introduction of ifm’s sanitary magnetic-inductive flow sensor is part of ifm’s efforts to transition from a component supplier to a solutions supplier. The flow meter is available for purchase today by contacting sales. Visit the SM Foodmag page for more technical information.
