Endress+Hauser Liquipoint FTW23 & FTW33 Point Level Switches
Endress+Hauser Liquipoint FTW23 and FTW33 Point Level Switches are specially engineered for the food industry and meet all international hygiene requirements. The FTW23 is intended for use in liquid media without buildup, while the FTW33 is suitable for pasty and sticky media and media with heavy buildup. These switches feature a compact design for easy installation, even in tight conditions or where access is restricted. The FTW33 is ideal for the hygienic industry and offers a flush-mount construction, which allows the pigging of pipes. The FTW33 provides a reliable switching function, even in the case of heavy buildup, and can be used for detecting foam that commonly occurs within the food and beverage industry. The FTW23 offers function testing of the switch outputs using a test magnet.
Endress+Hauser Liquipoint FTW23 and FTW33 Point Level Switches feature an LED display for onsite function checks and robust stainless steel housing. The devices can be cleaned and sterilized in place (CIP/SIP), and CIP/SIP cleanability is ensured - up to an IP69 protection class. The switches can be used permanently in process temperatures up to +100°C and for up to an hour at +135°C for the FTW23 and +150°C for the FTW33 for cleaning and sterilization processes.
