1. General Description & Field of Application

The Smartec CLD134 is an inductive (toroidal) conductivity measuring system ideally suited for the food, beverage, and life sciences industries. Its compact design—integrating both the sensor and transmitter—is interference-free, highly reliable, and exceptionally easy to use.

The system body is constructed from food-grade virgin PEEK material, featuring a jointless and crevice-free design. Holding full hygienic certifications to meet the stringent requirements of sanitary processing, the Smartec CLD134 ensures uncompromising product quality and total process safety.

2. Key Measurement Applications

The Smartec CLD134 hygienic conductivity meter excels across multiple critical process loops:

• Phase Separation: Efficient separation of media and media mixtures in complex piping systems.

• CIP Control: Precise control and monitoring of Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) processes in return pipes.

• Concentration Control: Accurate concentration monitoring during the remaking and dilution of CIP cleaning agents.

• Product Monitoring: Real-time tracking in piping systems, bottling plants, and automated quality assurance systems.

• Leakage Monitoring: Reliable detection of media crossover in heat exchangers or barrier valves.

3. Communication Protocols and Interfaces

To ensure seamless integration into modern plant control systems, the Smartec CLD134 supports robust industrial communication options:

• 0/4 to 20 mA analog outputs

• HART protocol communication

• PROFIBUS DP network integration

• PROFIBUS PA process automation connectivity

4. Core Advantages & Hygienic Standards

• Hygienic Integrity: The unique jointless design completely avoids secondary contamination risks.

• Sanitary Certifications: Obtains all essential hygienic certifications for sterile and aseptic environments.

• Biocompatibility: Complies strictly with USP Class VI standards.

• Regulatory Compliance: Fully adheres to EG 2023/2006 and 1935/2004 food-contact regulations.

• Process Compatibility: Fully suitable for CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place) cycles.

• Durability: Encapsulated structural design ensures long operational life under aggressive washdown conditions.

5. Liquid Analysis Ecosystem

Liquid analysis is increasingly vital for environmental protection, stable product quality, process optimization, and plant safety. From water and beverages to dairy products, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, precise fluid analysis is a daily requirement.
