A dairy processing plant required safety light curtains with IP69k to withstand high pressure (to 1450 PSI) and high temperature (to 176° F / 80° C) wash downs in the food processing environment. They previously used alternative safety light curtains which were prone to failing under washdowns. Additionally, aligning those curtains was another challenge they faced. The solution for their application was light curtains with IP69K protective enclosure from Schmersal.
