Based on the new frequency sweep technology, our level switches are suitable for high-viscosity fluids as well as for solid or liquid materials. As they are unaffected by liquid turbulence, sedimentation or air bubbles, nor indeed by foam or suspended particles, they are suitable for even the most difficult applications. In comparison to other measurement methods, such as vibrating forks, conductive, ultrasonic or optical sensors, frequency swing technology has some important benefits: no vibrating parts, no sensitivity to changes in conductivity, temperature or pressure. The level switches can be programmed on site and are well suited for separating fluids.

Baumer level switches are 3A approved and EHEDG certified. This means that they are predestined for monitoring tanks in the food and beverage processing industry. The versions with Atex approval enable monitoring of gassy substances and dusty environments and are ideal for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in refineries, in energy production and in mills.

• Special feature

  Frequency swing technology is suitable for use in areas which otherwise would need a whole battery of different technologies or equipment. This makes these sensors a clever and cheaper alternative for your application.
