Broadsens has officially elevated industrial asset reliability standards with the introduction of our IP69K-rated wireless vibration and temperature sensors. Engineered specifically for harsh, high-consequence processing environments, this ultra-rugged sensor architecture provides the highest level of ingress protection available on the global market today.
Engineering the Ultimate Ingress Protection
While standard IP67 or IP68 industrial sensors can withstand temporary liquid immersion, they consistently fail when subjected to the aggressive, high-pressure cleaning routines common in heavy industries. The IP69K rating means that a device can withstand intensive cleaning with high-pressure, high-temperature jets. IP69K products are ideal for industries where sanitation is a primary concern, such as food processing and pharmaceutical applications. Broadsens's wireless vibration and temperature sensors have been used for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring such as pharmacy, food industry or chemical plants.
IP69K wireless vibration sensor case study
In the picture, SVT200 wireless vibration & temperature sensors are used in food processing industry. The sensors are triple-coated from inside to outside:
- The circuit board and battery are conformally coated with high temperature and chemical resistant silicone.
- Heat-resistant Teflon tape is used to protect the circuit board for further protection.
- The sensor thread is processed with vibration resistant, waterproof thread lock.
- UV resistant coating is applied to the exterior of the sensor including sensor label so that the label and enclosure can last multiple years against UV light and multiple chemicals.
- A transparent aqua-grade tube is used to prevent accidental damage to sensor label.
IP69K wireless vibration sensor applications
The demand for true IP69K-compliant wireless condition monitoring is critical across sectors where hygiene and environmental containment are heavily regulated:
Food & Beverage Production: Enables continuous, real-time vibration tracking directly on high-speed mixers, blenders, bottling lines, and slicing machinery that undergo daily, high-temperature caustic washdowns to meet strict sanitization standards.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Processing: The rugged, corrosion-resistant housing protects sensitive internal triaxial MEMS accelerometers from aggressive chemical vapors, clean-in-place (CIP) solvents, and localized ambient contamination.
Pulp & Paper Mills: Withstands the relentless high-humidity, steam-saturated, and heavily splashed environments found near automated roller arrays and dewatering systems.
The product lineup is fully integrated into the master Broadsens telemetry matrix, allowing plant managers to choose the exact data acquisition (DAQ) profile required for their predictive maintenance strategy:
Paired with Broadsens's edge-computing wireless gateways, machine condition can be monitored in real time for predictive maintenance purpose. The wireless gateways come with large storge space (64GB in default, up to 256GB), which allows for edge-computing. Data can be streamed out from the gateway to user's devices and servers at the same time.
The IP69K rating case can be provided to all SVT-A and SVT-V series sensors. With IP69K rating, the industry's best wireless vibration & temperature sensor system can help industry improve efficiency and reduce machine downtime.
