Food & Beverage

Food and beverage processing combines the need for micron-level accuracy with the chemical and mechanical aggression of washdown cycles, steam cleaning, and corrosive sanitisers. Sensors must carry appropriate IP and hygiene ratings while maintaining the detection repeatability needed to hold fill tolerances and prevent foreign-material contamination.

Applications & Use Cases

EGE Fill Level Sensors EGE Fill Level Sensors
01
Bottle and can fill level verification

EGE fill level sensors confirm correct fill height in glass, PET, and metal containers at speeds to 1,200 containers/minute on carbonated beverage lines.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
02
CIP cycle monitoring — flow and pressure

EGE flow sensors verify that cleaning fluid is circulating at the correct flow rate and pressure during clean-in-place cycles, preventing under-cleaning incidents.

EGE Metal Detector 3000 EGE Metal Detector 3000
03
Metal fragment detection in process pipelines

EGE Metal Detector System 3000 detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel fragments in liquid and paste food streams before the product reaches filling.

Contrinex Inductive Contrinex Inductive
04
Hygienic cap and closure presence

Contrinex inductive sensors in stainless M12 housings confirm cap application and cap torque on closure machines without contact, surviving repeated washdowns.

EGE Flow Rate Sensors EGE Flow Rate Sensors
05
Conveyor chain lubrication monitoring

EGE flow rate sensors verify lubricant delivery to conveyor chain lubrication systems, alerting maintenance when flow drops below the set threshold.

EGE Temperature Sensors EGE Temperature Sensors
06
Pasteuriser temperature process monitoring

EGE temperature sensors provide accurate process temperature measurement in pasteurisers and heat exchangers, supporting HACCP compliance.

Pantron FSI & FSR Fork Light Barriers Pantron FSI & FSR Fork Light Barriers
07
Empty container detection before filling

Pantron FSI & FSR fork light barriers confirm container presence in the filler carousel pockets, preventing dry-fill cycles that damage filling nozzles.
