Industrial Applications

1. Level Detection in Food Processing Tanks

This capacitive sensor can accurately detect the level of various food products, such as liquids, powders, or granules, within stainless steel processing tanks. Its 4mm sensing distance, M12 flush mount, and stainless steel (AISI 316L) / PEEK construction, combined with IP65 rating, make it ideal for hygienic environments where aggressive cleaning agents are used. The adjustable operating distance allows for precise calibration based on the dielectric properties of different food materials.

Problem Solved

Ensuring precise fill levels and preventing overfills or dry runs in food processing, while withstanding harsh washdown cycles and corrosive food contact.

2. Object Detection in Chemical Washdown Areas

In manufacturing facilities with frequent chemical washdowns or exposure to aggressive industrial chemicals, this sensor reliably detects the presence of objects. Its robust stainless steel 1.4404 / AISI 316L housing and PEEK sensing face provide excellent chemical resistance, while the IP65 rating ensures protection against water jets. The 10-36 V DC operation and PNP output are standard for integration into industrial control systems.

Problem Solved

Reliable object detection in corrosive or frequently cleaned environments where standard sensors would quickly degrade.

3. Non-Metallic Material Detection on Conveyor Systems

The sensor is perfectly suited for detecting non-metallic objects, such as plastic containers, cardboard boxes, or wooden parts, on conveyor belts, even through thin non-metallic walls. Its 4mm flush sensing capability and ability to detect non-conductive materials (capacitive principle) are key. The compact M12 size allows for easy integration into conveyor lines, and the 0-50 Hz switching frequency is ample for typical material handling speeds.

Problem Solved

Accurately identifying and counting non-metallic products without direct contact, ensuring smooth material flow and inventory control.
