VEGA VEGACAP Capacitive Level Switches

Product Overview

VEGA VEGACAP capacitive level switches provide level measurement for a wide range of applications and the range of capacitive level switches can detect the absence and presence of process materials and provide critical overall protection and discrete alarming in both liquid and solid applications – this includes potentially explosive atmospheres and hazardous area locations.

VEGA VEGACAP capacitive level switches are often used to prevent over-filling of tanks and silos and also ensure that tanks do not run too low, possibly interrupting production.

Switching technology also provides active self monitoring with the vibrating fork system to ensure safe and reliable function and the various sensors allow for accurate detection of liquids, powders, granules, and pellets.

Product Benefits

Robust and resistant sensor coatings and insulation guarantee effective measurement in corrosive, viscous, or hot processes. The non-contact switching technology opens up a variety of measurement possibilities, such as position monitoring and plugged chute detection. In addition, the simple set up and installation reduces time and costs.
