Filtration
Stable and efficient filtration requires precise pressure and flow control, made possible by choosing the right sensors.
Heat Exchanger
Fast, highly precise measurement technology unaffected by high process temperatures helps you increase the energy efficiency of heat exchangers.
Inventory Management
Reliable sensors enable production planning based on real material availability and the complete emptying of tanks and silos.
Centrifugation
For efficient, consistent and safe operation, precise control of pressure and flow rate together with speed and vibration monitoring are of great importance.
Extrusion
The desired structure and texture are achieved through precise control of pressure, temperature and speed.
Evaporation
Process stability, efficiency and product quality require precise monitoring of temperature, vacuum, flow rate and total solids content.
CIP Cleaning Systems
Purpose-designed CIP (Clean-in-Place) sensor solutions enable optimum automated cleaning, providing significant savings in time, energy and resources.
Food and Beverage Packaging
Our broad portfolio of encoders, optical and smart vision sensors, and cameras ensures maximum process reliability and flexibility in food and beverage packaging.
Dairy Products
The strict hygiene requirements demanded in dairy processing have always formed the foundation of our product development.
Beer Production
Our robust sensors provide the measurement technology needed across the entire value chain, from silo to malt house, from bottling to packaging.
Beverage Production
Our flexible sensor solutions enable short changeover times in soft drink production.
In addition to our comprehensive portfolio of sensors, cameras and accessories, Baumer, as a partner in smart connected sensor solutions, offers a range of additional tools and features that make it simple, flexible, fast and reliable to integrate measurement technology into food and beverage applications.
Certifications and Approvals
Baumer sensors are certified in accordance with all international design and material standards relevant to the food and beverage industry. Baumer's internal processes are certified according to DIN ISO 9000 requirements. Hygienic sensors are designed, developed and manufactured in compliance with 3-A and EHEDG guidelines to guarantee the highest standards in food production.
An end-to-end development process, from the initial concept stage through to series production, is continuously validated by our customers' use. Sensor protection is a key element here. Our sensors comply with IP69 protection and undergo additional testing under our corporate proTect+ standard for maximum reliability and durability.
