The series 26 capacitive sensors are suitable for level control of most different products. They are used in the Semiconductor Industry, Chemical Industry and in the Food Industry. These sensors are available with different process connections, like 1", M22, Triclamp, with F30 fitting and with modified body sizes for standard plastic pipe fitting systems. There are models for 10...35vdc and for 20...250vac/dc. To complete this range there are models with ATEX certificate for use in areas with danger of explosion, dust zone 20 or gas zone 1.
The plastic materials used for the housings of the sensors are suitable for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries:
PTFE (Polytetrafluor ethylene) (FDA CFR 177.1550)
PEEK (Polyetheretherketon) (FDA 21 CFR 177.2415)
PP (Polyproplylen) (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520)
The versions for ambient temperature of +100 degrees C are capable of CIP (Cleaning in Process) up to 121 degrees C. Cleaning or sterilisation is permitted within this temperature range for parts that are in contact with the products.
All sensors in this range are for non-flush mounting. That means they are designed for applications where the active area of the sensore is in contact with the material to be detected.
With this kind of level control the sensor head (active area) is completely immersed into the powder, granulate or liquid.
