Ensure food safety and machine availability with ifm sanitary magmeters
Eliminate the leading cause of false flow indication with solid state flow sensing. Explore the features using the interactive model above.
IO-Link digital communication provides detailed process insight
Leveraging digital communication provides better measurement accuracy and reliability than analog since there are no signal conversion losses. In addition to conventional outputs, information on total flow, flow rate, temperature and signal strength can be monitored at all times.
Modular sanitary process connections
3-piece design allows for use with varying media types. Explore which o-ring and adapter options are available for the SMF.
Maximized process visualization
The SMF sensor features a 3.5” display that is used for monitoring up to 4 current measurement values and parameterization of the sensor. View the Display Simulation to explore all features of the integrated display.
Verify your process conditions from a distance
The SMF display has a programmable 360° LED ring that indicates the operating status of the sensor. View the breakdown of the colors below.
Multiple measurements for increased process control
Explore the sensing technology in ifm's SMF flowmeter.
Designed for high temperature media in high ambient conditions
Moving the electronics housing away from the process pipe allows for continuous monitoring of 300F media in 140F ambient temperature. This also allows for 50 mm of insulation to be installed on the pipe section.
Eliminate sensor failures due to water or chemical ingress
ifm’s SMF IP69 electronic housing does not have exposed elastomers or removable covers that can be damaged by ingress. Instead, the housing is welded and programming is completed using push buttons with a flexible metal sheet to actuate a capacitive sensor.
Reliable sensing for multiple media types
Unique spiked electrode design ensures a consistent reading even through buildup of fats and proteins. View more information about the electrode design below.
Conductivity monitoring for phase change detection
Reduce CIP cycle time with integrated conductivity measurement. View more information about the conductivity measurement above.
Multi-functional temperature probe adds insight into your piping system
Along with providing a temperature reading of the media in the pipe, the temperature probe is used to determine if media is present. Early indication of empty pipes can prevent pump damage due to air pockets.
Industry standard sanitary process adapters
Tri-clamp and weld adapter options for different sanitary pipe standards are available. Configure the SMF for your application on the Select Products page.
Gasket material options to adapt to different applications
EPDM, FKM and Silicone gasket materials available depending on what's required for the application. Configure the SMF for your application on the Select Products page.
