Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized protective housing designed for Automated Beverage Container Filling Level Verification Systems, providing physical separation between internal precision measurement components (sensors, cameras, lasers) and the external production environment. It prevents contamination from liquids, dust, and particulates while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and calibration.
Working Principle
Creates a sealed or semi-sealed barrier using transparent and opaque panels to allow optical verification systems to function while protecting them from environmental hazards. Includes interlock systems that halt machine operation when opened for safety compliance.
Materials
Stainless steel 304/316 (frame), polycarbonate or tempered glass (viewing panels), food-grade silicone gaskets, anodized aluminum brackets.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 15-25kg
  • IP Rating IP65
  • Dimensions Customizable (typical 600x400x300mm)
  • Transparency >90% light transmission for optical panels
  • Door Interlock Safety-rated (EN ISO 13849-1)
  • Operating Temperature 0-50°C
Standards
ISO 14120, ISO 13857, DIN EN 1672-2, FDA CFR 21

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is stainless steel preferred for beverage industry enclosures?

Stainless steel (304/316) provides corrosion resistance against acidic beverages, meets food-grade hygiene standards, and allows easy cleaning with industrial sanitizers.

How does the interlock system enhance safety?

Safety interlocks automatically stop the filling verification process when the enclosure is opened, preventing operator exposure to moving parts and ensuring compliance with machine safety regulations.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
