Fill-Level Measurement in Meat Mincers with Laser Distance Sensors Time of Flight

In the food industry, the fill-level in meat mincers must be reliably measured despite changing products, humidity and cleaning. A laser distance sensor time of flight in the stainless steel housing is installed vertically above the hopper and measures the fill-level during feeding without contact. In this way, it ensures a continuous material supply, avoids empty runs and dry running of the mincer and ensures even utilization of the plant. Thanks to IP69K degree of protection and hygienic housing design, the sensor can withstand high-pressure and foam cleaning without loss of function.
