Level detection with capacitive measurement technology
Capanivo® level switches are universally applicable in bulk solids, granulates, powders, liquids, highly viscous oils, slurries and pastes as full indicators, overfill protection, demand or empty indicators, as limit switches or for interface measurement in mixers, silos, tanks, process vessels, hoppers, troughs as well as troughs and pipelines. Different device variants allow installation situations from above, below, the side or with low space requirements. In addition, the sensors of the Capanivo® CN 7000 and CN 8000 series can be used for single media detection (e.g. during foaming) or as sensors for leakage detection.
The robust sensor tip made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic is both suitable for use in food and resistant to aggressive chemical media. The Capanivo® can be used in storage tanks, silos and process vessels or also in pipelines as a limit switch, backwater monitor, as dry run protection or as a valve control.
As a capacitively measuring sensor, it reacts with a change in capacitance when the sensor tip is touched by a solid, a liquid or a foaming medium and then switches a signal output (relay or transistor). The versions for solids also feature active lug compensation through built-in Active Shield technology, which ensures reliable operation in applications with foam, bridging, material buildup, caking or other adhesions.
In addition to WHG or SIL 2 approval, the various sensors in the Capanivo® series also have international approvals for gas and dust explosion hazardous areas. This makes it the ideal solution for most industries when it comes to level monitoring.
