Hygienic Gauge pressure transmitter PGF100

Hygienic Gauge Pressure Transmitter PGF100 is the new ABB model designed to fit sanitary, food and beverage processes while providing value on what matters the most.

Its compact stainless steel housing grants robustness, resistance to humidity and vibration, while incorporating a high visibility display with backlight option. Ease of use of the touch HMI is enhanced by the Easy Setup feature, a firmware option to easily configure device parameters from the display itself.

Specifications:

Base accuracy : ± 0.1 % (optional ± 0.075 %)

Span limits: from 3 mbar (1,2 in H2O) up to 100 bar (1450 psi)

Output signal: –4 to 20 mA analog signal or 4 to 20 mA analog signal with HART digital protocol

Local operation with new easy-to-use HMI (Human Machine Interface) with backlight option for environments with poor lighting. Two-button touch display avoids the need to remove the transmitter cover to operate device in the field.

Devices with a permissible pressure PS > 200 bar conforms to PED Directive 2014/68/UE; devices with a permissible pressure PS ≤200 bar conforms to SEP Sound Engineering Practices

Overview

This hygienic gauge pressure transmitter PGF100 delivers the most important food and beverage certifications, such as 3A, FDA and EHEDG. The wetted parts materials are in line with the requirements expressed by the EC 1935/2004 regulation to ensure safe operation for people and top-level hygiene in production processes.

ABB unique Diaflex technology (anti‑abrasion) comes handy if applications demand more, while the hygienic adapters allow flexibility and modularity in installation without compromising on materials and certifications.

The hygienic gauge pressure transmitter PGF100 is also available with a specific treatment option to ensure the best performance in demanding vacuum applications.

Its new QR code option, Digital Access Diagnostic, details operational messages and enables fast access to useful supporting information on the device and its status with suggestions for correcting errors or faulty conditions, as well as details of possible root causes, thus reducing the reaction time to field occurrences.

Typical Applications

The PGF100 is ideal for pressure and level measurement in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical and other sanitary processes. Common applications include:

Pressure monitoring in mixing tanks and fermentation vessels
Level measurement in sterile storage tanks
Line pressure control in CIP (Clean‑in‑Place) and SIP (Steam‑in‑Place) systems
Filter pressure monitoring in beverage production

Why Choose a Hygienic Pressure Transmitter

In sanitary processes, standard industrial pressure transmitters cannot be used because they have gaps, threads or materials that can trap product residue and promote bacterial growth. A hygienic gauge pressure transmitter like the PGF100 features flush diaphragms, crevice‑free surfaces, and FDA‑compliant wetted materials, ensuring cleanability and product safety.

Installation and Accessories

The PGF100 supports several hygienic process connections, including Tri‑Clamp, DIN 11851, Varivent, and others. For temperature measurement in the same process point, a combined pressure and temperature sensor version is available. For high‑temperature applications, a cooling element or diaphragm seal may be required – please consult our team.
