How Do Capacitive Point Level Sensors Work?
Capacitive sensors operate by using the principles of capacitance. The sensor’s measuring electrode and the vessel wall act as capacitor plates, while the liquid serves as the dielectric medium. As the liquid level rises and covers the electrode, the increased capacitance is measured by the sensor and transformed into a switch signal for process control.
This technology is ideal for precise level detection in a variety of liquids and works exceptionally well with difficult products like creams, oils, alcohols, ketchup, and more.
Advantages for Foaming and Adhesive Media
Foaming and adhesive products often challenge traditional level sensors. Anderson-Negele’s capacitive sensors overcome these challenges with:
- PEEK Sensor Tips: Only respond to full coverage by the medium, ignoring foam or adhesions.
- Accurate Measurements: Ensure reliable detection even in demanding conditions.
- Tailored Solutions: Designed for specific requirements in food and beverage production.
