Sensors target washdown environments
Banner has introduced two new photoelectric sensors for the food and beverages industries. The , the QM26 and QMH26 provide reliable performance in manufacturing and packaging zones, including contact zones, splash zones and non-contact zones.
The QM26 is housed in a non-toxic 316L stainless steel housing and can survive high pressure wash downs and temperature cycling, ranging from -30° C to 60° C. The sensor is Ecolab-certified for inexhaustible sensor life in chemically cleaned environments and is intended for splash zone areas. The QM26 also features easy side-mounting for quick set-up and installation.
The QMH26 has all the advantages of the QM26, however, it is designed with minimal grooves and crevices, leaving no room for bacteria to hide and multiply. It is self-draining for clean-in-place applications. The sensor's hygienic mounting shape reduces contamination risk, making it a suitable sensor to place in contact zones.
