ILM-4 Conductivity Meter

Conductivity Sensors, CIP Controls, IO-Link, Process Analytics

Hygienic Inductive Conductivity Meter for liquid media up to 999 mS/cm, with IO-Link

Our quality promise: Extended Warranty 5 years

  • Extremely short response time of 1.2s for highest efficiency
  • Flex-Hybrid Technology: Digital IO-Link and analog 4…20 mA in parallel
  • Accurate phase separation of different media means less resource losses and cost optimization
  • Maximum use of the cleaning agents in CIP processes thanks to correct re-guidance into the respective storage tanks
  • Minimum cleaning time and water consumption: active switch-over after reaching the desired value by inline analysis and not by passive, pre-set time control
  • Precise concentration of the cleaning agents
  • Modular design: configurable from the low-cost basic version to the high-end model
  • Add-On Instructions (AOI) are available at www.anderson-negele.com/aoi

Benefits

Benefits in production and CIP / SIP processes:
ILM-4 with IO-Link and 4...20 mA enables an active, automated and temperature compensated phase separation. This applies both to different media in production processes and to the CIP / SIP return flow of acid / caustic/ water. These media can be drained or returned to the storage tanks in the highest possible grade by means of precise inline conductivity measurement. The multiple use of the cleaning media ensures in addition maximum cost efficiency and environmental protection.

 

Benefits in cleaning agents control:
For an optimal and reproducible cleaning result, each cleaning agent must be concentrated to the specified value by re-dosing with concentrate and fresh water. This is ensured by the highly precise measurement of conductivity with the ILM-4.

 

Advantages of the ILM-4 conductivity sensor:
Extremely short response time (1.2 s) for maximum efficiency / Ready for IIOT: digital IO-Link interface and analog 4...20 mA data transmission in parallel / Precise phase transition of different media means less product loss and cost reduction / Optimum multiple use of the cleaning chemicals due to correct return to the respective tanks / Minimization of cleaning time and water consumption: inline conductivity analysis for active switching after reaching the desired value and not after a passive, fixed time / Precise concentration control of the cleaning agents / Reliable product monitoring and quality assurance / Very favourable price-performance ratio
