3. Non-Contact Level Monitoring in Opaque Containers

For certain bulk materials or liquids stored in non-transparent tanks or hoppers, the thru-beam sensor can effectively detect high or low levels by sensing the presence or absence of material across the beam path.

Problem Solved

Provides a non-contact and robust solution for level control in tanks where direct contact sensors may be unsuitable or where the material is opaque. Its 10m range allows it to span various tank diameters, and the IP67 rating ensures reliability in dusty or wet conditions.
