Medición del nivel de llenado en picadoras de carne mediante sensores de distancia láser ToF

In the food industry, the fill level in meat grinders must be reliably measured despite changing products, moisture, and cleaning cycles. A ToF laser distance sensor in a stainless steel housing is installed vertically above the feed hopper and performs a non-contact measurement of the fill level during feeding. This ensures a continuous supply of material, prevents empty runs and dry running of the meat grinder, and guarantees consistent utilization of the system. Thanks to its IP69K degree of protection and hygienic housing design, the sensor withstands high-pressure and foaming agent cleaning without any loss of function.
