Switch for food & beverage sector
22 April 2014
The new PBSH pressure switch from SICK’s Industrial Instrumentation Division is designed for pressure control applications in food and beverage processes, achieving stringent hygiene standards and high production availability cost-effectively.

The PBSH combines hygienic stainless steel wetted parts with a heavy duty plastic housing featuring a bright, highly visible display to provide direct indication of process pressure. In addition, industry standard electrical output signals provide constant feedback to the process PLC.
A seal free construction ensures that the PBSH resists the aggressive and high-temperature CIP/SIP cleaning and sterilising regimes employed in the food and beverage industry. The switch is suitable for gauge, vacuum and absolute pressure measurement with a variety of measuring ranges from -1 to 0 bar, up to 0 to +25 bar.
