With the new PL20 level sensor, Baumer's CleverLevel range offers even more level detection options. Whatever the type of media - liquid, pasty, clogging or solid - the level is detected by the CleverLevel sensor, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where the conventional vibratory feeder is used today.
There's no need to set up the sensor on the media as before: "it adapts itself to the medium, reliably eliminating any risk of adhesion in viscous mediastresses the manufacturer. What's more, thanks to the optional 4 ... 20 mA analog signal, PL20 offers many additional benefits and real added value for greater efficiency in production."
Food safety assured
In the food and beverage industry, customer requirements are becoming increasingly customized. Due to the different properties of fluids, traditional measurement systems are reaching their limits. The new CleverLevel PL20 level sensor contributes to more flexible, cost-efficient processes, regardless of tank content. According to Baumer, the PL20 level sensor offers real added value, particularly in food industry applications involving recipe changes or batch production. The intelligent sensor automatically adapts to different media, ensuring maximum flexibility with minimum installation time. What's more, thanks to its compact design and shallow installation depth, it has minimal influence on the process, guaranteeing maximum food safety.
According to the manufacturer, even viscous media and static loads have no effect on the sensor. The level sensor adjusts the switching threshold without parameterization, thus minimizing downtimes that can be caused by switching errors. With an optional additional 4 ... 20 mA analog output, PL20 enables differentiation of fluids during the process, or evaluation of the cleaning process. Graphical analysis of measurement results using FlexProgrammer ensures a transparent process. An analog interface facilitates rapid integration of the sensor into existing systems. Finally, a wide choice of process connections and adapters enables fast, flexible integration of the sensor.
