Switching – Capacitive

VEGACAP series 60
Level detection in bulk solids and liquids
Measuring principle
Sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. A capacitance change caused by a level change is processed by the integrated electronics and converted into a switching signal. The capacitive measuring principle makes no special demands to installation and mounting. Due to cable and rod versions, suitable instruments are available for all applications.

Applications in liquids

Mainly fully insulated instrument versions are used in these applications. Hence level detection of corrosive liquids or Adhesive products are no problem. The mounting of the instruments is easy and the rugged construction is the basis for an interference and maintenance free operation.

Applications in bulk solids

Partly insulated versions are preferably used in bulk solids. Also here, we have the proven, rugged configuration as basis for the manifold and reliable use, e.g. in the aggregates and mining industry.
