Compact conductivity device Smartec CLD18

Field of application

Smartec CLD18 is the cost-effective solution for all applications in beverage plants where small tubes are used and where the toroidal measurement is used as a switch function. The combination of a transmitter and a sensor is interference-free, easy-to-use and features a hygienic design that protects your products and processes from contamination. Smartec CLD18 ensures the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of your plant thanks to fast and reliable CIP and optional IO-Link protocol.

The hygienic Smartec CLD18 measures toroidal conductivity in beverage applications:

• Control of CIP processes in the return channel

• Concentration control in remaking of CIP cleaning agents

• Product monitoring in pipe systems, bottling plants

• Beer - Push water interphase

• Beer - Water cut for brewing lines

• Leakage monitoring

It features the following protocols and interfaces:

• 0/4...20mA

• IO-Link (optional)
