Yijia limit switches application scenarios
Food conveyor line
On food conveyor lines, Yijia limit switches are often used to control the operating range and position of conveyor belts. For example, when the conveyor belt runs to a specified position, the limit switch is triggered to send a signal to the control system to stop the conveyor belt or change the running direction to avoid collision or exceed the safety range. The high precision and fast response capability of Yijia limit switches ensure the efficient and safe operation of the conveyor line.
Filling equipment
In the filling equipment of liquid foods such as beverages and sauces, Yijia limit switches are used to accurately control the switch position of the filling valve. When the filling valve reaches the set position, the limit switch cuts off the power supply to prevent waste and pollution caused by excessive filling. At the same time, the waterproof and dustproof performance of the limit switch ensures stable operation in a humid environment.
Retort pot
In the food sterilization process, Yijia limit switches are used to monitor the opening and closing status of the sterilization pot lid. Only when the pot lid is completely closed and locked, the limit switch allows the sterilization process to start, ensuring the sterilization effect and the safety of the operator. The high temperature tolerance of Yijia limit switches ensures reliable performance in high-temperature steam environments.
Packaging machinery
In food packaging machinery, Yijia limit switches are used to detect the position of packaging materials and control the timing of packaging actions. For example, when the packaging film is delivered to the specified position, the limit switch triggers the sealing action to complete the packaging process. The precise positioning and durable mechanical structure of Yijia limit switches improve packaging efficiency and product qualification rate.
Cleaning equipment
Food processing equipment requires frequent cleaning and disinfection, and Yijia limit switches are often used to control CIP cleaning systems. When equipment components such as pipeline valves reach the cleaning position, the limit switch triggers the execution of the cleaning program. The corrosion-resistant housing and waterproof seal of Yijia limit switches can withstand the erosion of cleaning agents and the impact of high-pressure water flow.
Installation and maintenance precautions of Yijia limit switches in food processing equipment
Food processing equipment has extremely high requirements for hygiene and safety. It is crucial to select the right limit switch and install and maintain it correctly. Here are some points to note when using Yijia limit switches:
Selection considerations
- Choose waterproof and dustproof models to ensure normal operation in humid environments.
- Choose corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to cleaning and disinfection environments.
- Choose high-temperature or low-temperature resistant models according to the operating temperature range of the equipment.
- Choose a model that meets the voltage and current requirements according to the load conditions.
Installation points
- Cut off the power supply before installation to avoid electric shock and equipment damage.
- Choose a suitable installation method, such as side installation, top installation, etc., according to the equipment structure.
- Carefully check the terminals and connect the wires correctly according to the wiring diagram.
- Use cables of appropriate specifications to ensure durability and wear resistance.
- Fix the wiring to avoid looseness or damage.
- Perform a functional test after installation to confirm that the operation is reliable under the preset conditions.
Maintenance and maintenance
- Regularly check the connection status and function of the limit switch.
- If the wire is found to be worn or loose, replace or re-fix it in time.
- In corrosive environments, use a protective cover or choose an anti-corrosion switch.
- Clean the switch surface regularly to remove dirt and food residues.
- It is strictly forbidden to disassemble or modify the limit switch by yourself.
- If the switch is damaged, stop using the equipment immediately and contact a professional for repair.
