The Specialist For Confectionery And Baked Goods Packaging Machines: The New DRT 25C from Leuze
The primary and secondary packaging of confectionery and baked goods can be challenging: The new DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor from Leuze solves precisely this problem in an innovative and reliable way: with unique reference technology and three light spots.
Sensors must continuously and reliably detect a wide range of products and films on the conveyor belts of primary and secondary packaging machines for confectionery and baked goods (HFFS, FS, Thermoform, or VFFS). The packaging machines must keep running even if the product or packaging material changes.
Innovative reference technology for all products.
Leuze developed the DRT 25C dynamic reference diffuse sensor with its innovative detection method for precisely this area of application. The sensor works with three light spots and uses reference technology. The latter references the conveyor belt instead of the product and that is what makes this technology so unique. In the first step, the surface characteristics of the belt are taught in.
This enables the sensor to subsequently detect all objects that do not correspond to the belt surface as “deviations”, even if the conveyor belt is dirty or vibrating. With this approach, the surface properties of the products, such as the colour, gloss, or transparency do not influence the detection.
The DRT 25C uses its three light spots to reliably detect the entire spectrum: small, flat, or also tall and spherical products. Even irregular shapes and contours or products with holes are detected thanks to the wide scanning range, these are also detected as a continuous piece.
Higher throughput due to reliable detection and zero setup time when changing products.
The reliable detection of objects – even those with challenging shapes and surfaces – guarantees a high machine throughput and prevents system downtime. Even under difficult conditions such as vibration or contamination on the conveyor belt. No adjustment of the sensor is needed when products or packaging materials are changed. This significantly reduces the setup time required and enables higher machine throughput.
The DRT 25C is quickly and easily set up thanks to automatic teaching by means of the teach button. With a universal mounting position for all objects. Additional functions can be conveniently integrated into the machine control via IO-Link. For example a warning message for excessive debris, use of the counter built into the sensor, or locking the teach button.

About us
A successful example of practical experience orientation
When the decision was made in the Swabian town of Owen in the early 60s to found Leuze electronic that would develop sensors for the company's textile machines, we didn't expect that the Southern German start-up would develop into the successful international company that it is today.
Today, it is a worldwide success story and stands for forward-thinking entrepreneurship as only few companies do. It's no accident that today Leuze electronic is considered a technology driver and is active in all growing markets with subsidiaries and a variety of distributors all over the world.
