Field of application

The Liquipoint FTW23 is a capacitive point‑level switch engineered for reliable detection of water‑based liquids in hygienic and industrial environments. Designed for food applications, it meets international hygiene standards and features a robust 316L stainless‑steel sensor with PEEK insulation for compatibility with a wide range of aqueous media. Its compact design enables installation in tight spaces, and optional hygienic adapters ensure seamless integration into sanitary process connections. The FTW23 is CIP/SIP‑capable, tolerating cleaning temperatures up to 135°C (275°F) for one hour, and offers IP69 protection for demanding wash‑down conditions. IO‑Link simplifies configuration, enabling fast parameterization and smooth integration into digital systems. With no medium‑specific adjustment needed and a clear LED for on‑site status indication, the FTW23 delivers dependable, low‑maintenance point‑level detection for production, storage, and utility applications.
