Sensors for the food industry

The processes of the food industry place very high requirements on hygiene. VEGA sensors are the right "ingredient" for processing raw materials such as sugar or starch and for the production of beverages, dairy products or chocolate products.

Level and pressure instrumentation for all measuring tasks

VEGA sensors are well equipped for the complex measuring tasks in process automation – from the measurement of viscous liquids in small containers, with stirrers or heating coils, to fine powders or abrasive bulk solids. Thanks to their versatile connection options, they can be easily integrated into any application in the process.

FDA EG 1935/2004 EHEDG 3-A

Easy cleaning – reliable processes

Hygiene, speed and flexibility

To help ensure hygienic and stable food production processes, VEGA offers materials specially tailored to the strict requirements of the industry – with all necessary approvals and material properties according to FDA and EG 1935/2004. Our hygienic designs meet the requirements of EHEDG and 3-A Sanitary.

Expertly designed

The sensors are especially characterised by their flush process connections and leakproof, robust housings (IP69K). Even while operating they can be CIP-cleaned with almost any cleaning agent up to 2 hours at 150 °C.

Perfect cleanability

VEGA sensors have been specially developed for the needs of the food industry, which are fulfilled by reliably protected seals, all-metal housings and media-contacting surfaces with a low surface roughness approaching 0.3 µm.

Standardised hygienic adaptors

The standardised connections of the hygienic adaptors, which guarantee high system availability, can be selected as needed. Installing the adaptors requires only minimal effort. The end-to-end concept allows simple integration and fast maintenance – it also reduces spare parts inventories and production downtime.

Efficient CIP cleaning

Cleaning in Place (CIP) refers to a method for cleaning processing facilities such as those used in food production.
During CIP cleaning, different liquids are pumped through the system piping. The cleaning media used are caustic and acidic solutions, some in high concentrations, often at extremely high temperatures.
VEGA sensors ensure that all required liquids are always available in sufficient amounts and reliably withstand the complex processes.

Online-Tools

To ensure that production facilities are competitive today and stay competitive tomorrow, process cycles have to be optimized and costs reduced – without compromising quality. With intelligent networking and unique services, VEGA makes processes noticeably more efficient and reliable throughout the entire value-added chain.

Wireless adjustment

With Bluetooth, VEGA is looking far into the future. But already today, radio technology is making processes more and more flexible. Wireless communication provides better accessibility: in clean rooms, in harsh industrial environments and in hazardous areas. It allows parameterisation, display and diagnostics from a distance of up to 50 metres, thus saving time and avoiding dangers. Simply via VEGA Tools app – on any available smartphone or tablet.

VEGA instrument adjustment

IO-Link

VEGA uses IO-Link to make optimal use of all possibilities. With this manufacturer-independent, standard communication tool, sensors can be installed, parameterised and, if necessary, put back into operation faster and more cost-effectively. IO-Link is a digital interface that can transmit parameters automatically if an instrument is replaced.

VEGA Inventory System

Lower inventory levels mean lower costs. VEGA Inventory System makes all important process and forecast information visible and easy to grasp. Measuring instruments installed on containers, tanks or silos automatically inform the user when replenishments are required. In your plant, the user-friendly service software accesses not only current measurement data, but also consumption data from previous operating periods.
