  • Sensors & Lighting for IP69K Washdown

    IP69K washdown sensor and lighting products

    IP69K is the highest ranking on the Ingress Protection rating scale, which means it has a very high protection against liquids and solids leaking into industrial devices. Products with higher IP ratings are designed to work better in harsh environments where standard sensors would easily get damaged and produce false readings.

    Various manufacturing industries, such as food, beverage, or pharmaceutical, have strict regulations in place in order to maintain a high level of sanitation and cleanliness and prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. These rigid rules create an environment that is frequently subjected to high-pressure washdowns. Sensors and sensing components that do not function in this environment create costly downtime as production must be halted for changeovers and installation of replacement products.

    Installing products that are suitable for washdown and sterile environments is a must. Fortunately, Banner Engineering offers a wide variety of products that are rated IP69K and can withstand the wet atmosphere and high-pressure that washdowns typically introduce.  Banner's IP69K-rated sensors are available in a variety of housing styles and sizes and meet the demands of harsh caustic washdown environments without sacrificing quality.  In addition, bright, long-lasting lighting and indicators are available with rugged design models that require no additional protective covers.

    Banner Engineering’s new Washdown Cover expands the number of applications for which our E-Stop Buttons can be used by raising the product rating up to IP69K and Type 4X. It provides additional protection against environmental hazards for our 30 mm Mount Emergency Stop Buttons without compromising device actuation or visibility. The cover is made of clear, FDA-grade silicone and is both UL and ECOLAB approved. It is available in pre-installed kits for rapid deployment in new installations or as a standalone product, ideal for retrofitting E-Stop buttons in existing installations.
