ifm TCC temperature calibration technology

Maximum process reliability and constant product quality are imperative in the food industry. Whether in the manufacture of beverages, confectionery, dairy or in meat processing. Even slightest impurities cause great damage, such as product recall of entire production lots or expensive downtime. Maintaining product surety with the highest quality which protects brand security is of key importance.

ifm TCC, temperature calibration technology, is designed to give 100% visibility of the process temperature even after calibration. The TCC claims an accuracy of ±0.2 K across the entire measuring range, which ensures a smooth process and a high product quality by permanently monitoring its own reliability. If the sensor drifts from predefined tolerance values or in the event of malfunction, it gives a corresponding signal via the clearly visible LED and diagnostic output.

Another of the company’s food-grade process sensors on display at the event is the ultrapure water flow sensor. This is of great importance as companies are responsible for monitoring their trade wastewater as it is processed onsite.

ifm’s specially developed food application product range comprises innovative position sensors, process sensors, control systems and connection technology. The sensors are made of high-quality food-grade materials. They have a hygienic housing design and are distinguished by high ingress and temperature resistance and protection against high-pressure cleaning with aggressive agents. The electrical connection technology with protection rating IP 68/IP 69K and stainless steel mounting accessories especially designed for the food industry complete the product range.
