In the food industry, several conveyor belts are arranged close together, with detection taking place from above. Sensors mounted above open food products must meet stringent requirements, which is why components approved for food contact should be used.
Solution:
The DRT35C dynamic reference sensor detects any products by using the conveyor belt as a reference. The sensor, with a high-quality stainless steel housing with smooth surfaces (typical value ≤ 0.8 Ra), is the perfect solution for mounting above open food. Thanks to the stainless steel housing, no additional sensor enclosure is required. http://www.leuze.com
