Overview

The renowned SensoGate retractable fittings are now available in hygienic versions, making them perfect for manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic measurement, cleaning, and calibration processes. Featuring a unique modular design, SensoGate fittings accommodate all common process connections and allow for easy replacement of process-wetted parts. This flexibility enables seamless switching between solid-electrolyte and pressurizable liquid-electrolyte sensors. SensoGate fittings come in various process-resistant materials, including PVDF, PEEK, 1.4435, 1.4571, and Hastelloy, ensuring durability and adaptability for a wide range of applications.

Key Features

Unique Safety:

  • The innovative retractable fittings ensure reliable shut-off in any position, even during probe movement, maintaining process integrity.
  • This safety feature applies to hygienic applications as well, eliminating the need for valves before or after the cleaning chamber, unlike ball valve fittings.

Versatile Materials:

  • SensoGate fittings stand out due to their diverse material options tailored to various applications.
  • These include high-performance, carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers, which often serve as cost-effective alternatives to expensive materials like titanium or Hastelloy.

Hygienic Applications:

  • Designed to meet the stringent requirements of food and pharmaceutical production, SensoGate fittings can be sterilized on both the process side and the calibration chamber.
  • The special design ensures directed flow of the rinse medium, allowing the inner, process-side gasket to be rinsed from both the process side and the interior, which is typically unreachable.
  • All materials and sealing kits comply with USP Class VI standards.

ATEX Approval:

  • SensoGate fittings are certified for use in hazardous areas, adhering to the II 1 GD c II marking requirements.
