Inductive sensors meet food industry
demands
The Contrinex Series 700 range of rugged inductive sensors is now available in food-safe stainless steel.
The Contrinex Series 700 range of rugged inductive sensors is now available in food-safe stainless steel (V4A/AISI 316L/DIN 1.4435) and fitted with TPE-S cables sealed to IP69K or S12 connectors that provide protection to IP68 and IP69K This makes them highly suitable for use in dairies, the canning, beverage and brewing industries and slaughterhouses or meat processing plants

Inductive sensors find position in Hannover
Making its debut on at the Hanover Fair this year is the latest addition to the extremely rugged, yet highly sensitive, Series 700 range of inductive sensors from Contrinex.
Sensors take to the sea
Contrinex introduces marine-standard inductive sensors with a V4A stainless steel housing that is impervious to sea water and salt spray and will not rust even in extreme maritime environments.
Machined from a single piece of stainless steel including the sensing face, the Series 700 can withstand extreme impact and high shock levels and is highly resistant to corrosion by cleaning and disinfecting agents and organic acids.
This means they comfortably withstand the routine high-pressure, jet cleaning processes commonly used in the food industry.
The cable and connector assembly is fully pressure-resistant up to 80bar on M12 sensors, 60bar on M18 and 40bar on M30 making them suitable for virtually all processes likely to be met in the food industry.
In addition, the application of innovative Contrinex sensing technology produces a sensing distance that is three times that of conventional sensors.
This increased range is the same on all metals, even aluminium, unlike some brands where the sensing clearance from a target can be significantly reduced by alloys.
Supplied in M12, M18 and M30 sizes and in embeddable and nonembeddable formats, the sensors have a built-in LED plus short circuit, voltage reversal and overload protection as well as being stable over the full temperature range from -25 to +85C.
