Endress+Hauser FTW33: Hygienic Point Level Switch

The Endress+Hauser FTW33: Hygienic Point Level Switch is engineered for exceptional performance, particularly within the demanding food industry, while also offering broad applicability across all sectors. It meets stringent international hygiene standards, making it a perfect fit for pasty, sticky, and build-up-prone media. Whether installed in pipes, storage tanks, mixing vessels, or process containers—with or without agitators—the FTW33 ensures reliable point level detection. It is designed for liquids with electrical conductivity greater than 1 μS/cm or a dielectric constant greater than 2, and it is adept at detecting foam, a common challenge in food processing.

Tailored for Food Industry and Beyond

This versatile switch is tailored for food industry and beyond. Its design caters specifically to the rigorous hygienic demands of food and beverage processing, ensuring no media can collect on the sensor surface. The flush-mounted design facilitates pipe pigging, crucial for maintaining sanitation. Beyond the food sector, the FTW33’s robust build and adaptable features make it suitable for a wide array of industrial applications, providing reliable point level detection for various liquids, including those that are water-based or oil-based, and actively compensating for build-up.

Flush-Mounted Design for Optimal Hygiene

The flush-mounted design for optimal hygiene is a cornerstone of the FTW33’s functionality, especially critical in the food industry. This feature ensures that the sensor’s surface is smooth and free from crevices where media could accumulate, preventing contamination and facilitating thorough cleaning. The design is compatible with pipe pigging systems, allowing for efficient cleaning of pipelines. Coupled with its robust construction and high protection class (IP 69), the FTW33 guarantees reliable and sanitary operation in the most demanding hygienic environments.

Reliable Measurement with Build-Up Compensation

Experience reliable measurement with build-up compensation. The FTW33 is engineered to provide safe and consistent switching, even when dealing with media that tend to build up on the sensor. This active compensation mechanism ensures the device’s integrity and reliability over time, preventing false switching or operational failures. This feature is particularly valuable when monitoring sticky or pasty substances, ensuring uninterrupted and accurate point level detection in challenging process conditions.

This ease of installation reduces setup time and complexity, making it an ideal solution for both new plant constructions and retrofits in existing facilities. Combined with a broad range of available process connections, including standard threads and hygienic fittings, the FTW33 offers installation flexibility to suit virtually any application requirement.

Versatile Process Connections and Adapters

Benefit from versatile process connections and adapters. The FTW33 supports a wide array of industry-standard threads (G1, G1/2, G3/4, M24) and hygienic connections like Clamp ISO 2852 and DIN11851. This extensive selection ensures seamless integration into both new and existing plant infrastructure. Optional weld-in adapters and process adapters for hygienic connections further enhance its adaptability, allowing for a perfect fit and reliable sealing in virtually any installation scenario, simplifying the entire integration process.

Robust Construction and Cleanability Ensured

With robust construction and cleanability ensured, the FTW33 is built for longevity and ease of maintenance. It is fully CIP (Clean-In-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-In-Place) capable, withstanding temperatures up to 150°C (302°F) for one hour during cleaning cycles. The main wetted parts, including the sensor, are made from high-grade 316L stainless steel, and the sensor isolation is PEEK, materials chosen for their resistance to corrosion and harsh cleaning agents. An integrated LED display allows for easy on-site function checks, further simplifying operational management.
