Digital Non-Glass pH Sensor for Hygienic Applications

The Endress+Hauser Ceramax CPS341D is a digital pH sensor designed specifically for industries requiring high hygiene standards and long sensor lifetime.

Unlike traditional glass pH electrodes, the CPS341D uses a pH-sensitive enamel measuring surface mounted on a steel carrier, providing excellent mechanical strength and resistance against breakage.

The sensor is especially suitable for applications where:

• 
  Sensor lifetime is critical
  
• 
  Frequent replacement should be avoided
  
• 
  Cleaning and sterilization processes are required
  
• 
  Media contamination or coating may affect measurement
  

Typical industries include:

• 
  Food production
  
• 
  Beverage manufacturing
  
• 
  Pharmaceutical production
  
• 
  Biotechnology
  
• 
  Life science processes
  

Enamel Electrode Technology for Long-Term Stability

The key feature of CPS341D is its pH-sensitive enamel electrode technology.

The enamel measuring surface provides:

• 
  High mechanical stability
  
• 
  Long operating lifetime
  
• 
  Low maintenance requirements
  
• 
  Resistance to aggressive cleaning processes
  

The large pH-sensitive surface area also makes the sensor less sensitive to contamination and coating compared with conventional designs.

This makes CPS341D suitable for long-running measurement points where consistent performance is required over extended periods.

Memosens Digital Technology

The CPS341D uses Memosens digital sensor technology, providing secure and reliable communication between sensor and transmitter.

Benefits include:

• 
  Digital signal transmission
  
• 
  Contactless inductive connection
  
• 
  Storage of calibration and sensor data
  
• 
  Easy laboratory calibration
  
• 
  Predictive maintenance support
  

The sensor data stored in the Memosens system helps simplify maintenance planning and improves process safety.

Designed for CIP and SIP Processes

For hygienic industries, sensors must withstand frequent cleaning and sterilization cycles.

The CPS341D features a hygienic design suitable for:

• 
  Cleaning in Place (CIP)
  
• 
  Sterilization in Place (SIP)
  

This allows the sensor to remain installed during cleaning procedures while maintaining reliable measurement performance.

Applications include:

• 
  Dairy processing
  
• 
  Beverage filling lines
  
• 
  Pharmaceutical production
  
• 
  Biotechnological processes
  

Reliable Measurement in Challenging Media

The CPS341D is designed for process environments where standard glass pH sensors may experience limitations.

Suitable conditions include:

• 
  Highly viscous media
  
• 
  Hygienic production processes
  
• 
  Frequent cleaning cycles
  
• 
  Long-term continuous operation
  

The robust construction helps reduce downtime caused by sensor replacement and maintenance.
