About ABB Hygienic Gauge PGF100

Overview

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 a 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.

PGF100 is also available with a specific treatment option to ensure the best performances 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.

PGF100: compact, reliable, essential.

FAQ's of ABB Hygienic Gauge PGF100:

Q: How does the ABB Hygienic Gauge PGF100 ensure sanitary operation in food and pharmaceutical processes?

A: The ABB PGF100 features a hygienic design with 316L stainless steel wetted parts, diaphragm seal, and approvals such as EHEDG and 3-A Sanitary. Its smooth finishes and CIP/SIP compatibility prevent contamination, making it ideal for rigorous hygiene requirements in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

Q: What process connections and seal options are available for the PGF100 gauge?

A: The PGF100 offers clamp connections in 1.5" and 2" sizes, DIN 11851 fittings, aseptic connections, and bespoke options to fit diverse installations. Seals are standard EPDM, with alternatives such as FKM or PTFE available on request, ensuring compatibility with different process media and cleaning agents.

Q: When should I choose glycerin or silicone oil filling for the PGF100 pressure gauge?

A: Glycerin or silicone oil filling is recommended when the gauge is subjected to vibrations or pulsating pressures. Filling dampens pointer movement for stable reading, extends gauge life, and is particularly beneficial in dynamic process environments or machinery-intensive installations.

Q: Where can the PGF100 gauge be installed within a plant?

A: The PGF100 can be mounted in both horizontal and vertical orientations thanks to its selectable bottom or back mounting type. Its compact design and customizable process fittings make it suitable for pipelines, vessels, or any pressure monitoring points within sanitary or corrosive processing settings.

Q: How does external zero adjustment benefit the user?

A: External zero adjustment allows for quick recalibration of the gauge without disassembly. This feature facilitates on-site maintenance, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurements while minimizing downtime and service interventions.

Q: What are the main benefits of using the ABB PGF100 in sanitary industries?

A: The PGF100 delivers reliable hygiene-compliant pressure measurements, high chemical resistance, and robust protection. Its certifications, durable construction, customizable options, and suitability for regular cleaning procedures help maintain product safety and process efficiency in regulated environments.
