The successful SensoGate WA 130/131 sensor lock-gates and their corresponding WA 130H/131H hygienic designs offer optimized solutions for all semi or fully automatic applications. However, a pneumatic fitting is not essential for many applications and is therefore too expensive. For this reason, Knick has now developed the SensoGate WA 131M, a state-of-the-art manual sensor lock-gate with a revolutionary rotary drive.

Revolutionary operation
The SensoGate WA 131M has a manual rotary drive, which enables the fitting to be operated up to a counter pressure of 10 bars. And this is all done with just two turns. Regardless of how unfavorable the angle or the operating height at which the fitting is installed, the low rotary forces can easily be applied using the wrist. This is not possible with the sliding motion of conventional fittings.

Very simple installation
The manual sensor lock-gate, sophisticated down to the smallest detail, offers a time saving of 80% for initial installation compared to conventional units and of up to 70% for replacing wearing parts. For example, the O-rings can be completely replaced in just 30 seconds; the seals are easily accessible and can be exchanged very quickly. Design innovations also ensure that the O-rings have an extremely long service life.

Superior functionality
With conventional units, the sensor was incorporated into the process through an O-ring lock-gate; the sensor windows in the immersion tube juddered through the O-rings into the process and back.
