Contrinex’s IP68, IP69K, Ecolab approved WASHDOWN inductive sensors ‘wash’ away any worry about reliability in the harsh conditions of the food, beverage & pharmaceutical industries, ensuring uninterrupted production. Find out more at http://tiny.cc/CTX_Washdown
Pressure resistant up to 80 bar, food safe and corrosion resistant, these WASHDOWN sensors are available in conventional technology in M12 housings, or in Contrinex’s ‘Extreme’ robust Full Inox Stainless-steel technology, in sizes M12, M18 & M30.
These Full Inox sensors have a totally impervious one-piece housing, where the front-face and the body are machined from one piece of V4A / AISI 316L stainless-steel – They are therefore highly resistant to the corrosive chemicals used for ‘clean-in-place’ or ‘wash-down’ processes.
In common with the rest of Contrinex’s ‘Extreme’ sensor family, these sensors are impact and abrasion resistant, even surviving being used to hammer nails in – Therefore they minimize the risk of being damaged by impact, for example in confined operating spaces.
Additional benefits like ‘Factor 1’ sensing on steel and aluminium and extended sensing ranges up to 40 mm, meet the increasingly demanding sensing needs of the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, delivering best-in-class performance with an attractive total cost of ownership.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE: DAIRY INDUSTRY
Food-grade Washdown inductive sensors from Contrinex are completely compatible with the strict hygiene standards of the diary industry, helping maximise plant utilisation during round-the-clock production of milk-based foodstuffs.
Rated to IP68 / IP69K, Contrinex’s WASHDOWN sensors withstand both cleaning chemicals and high-pressure water jets. Food-grade sensors are available with IO-Link, the standardized communications protocol.
- Maximum plant utilisation in hygienic processes
- Elimination of senor-related downtime
- Communication via IO-Link without the need for special cabling
- Fast, easy set-up and reconfiguration
