New standard for large tanks: Radar level sensor with IO-Link

Ifm electronic's new LW2720 compact level sensor allows liquid fluid levels in tanks up to 10 meters high to be accurately monitored without a dead zone.

Thanks to the principle of non-contact radar measurement, any malfunction or failure of the sensor due to the adhesion of viscous fluids or collisions with agitators is excluded.

The 80 GHz frequency used ensures stable and accurate measurement results, to the millimetre, even when steam or condensate is present in the tank. The sensor is designed to be used in aseptic areas, so even CIP and SEP processes or the use of washing balls do not affect it.

This sensor, communicating thanks to integrated IO-Link, stands out for its ease of implementation; it can be set up and read remotely and does not require maintenance. Its installation is carried out in just a few minutes.

Other characteristics:

• Certified for use in aseptic areas with EHEDG, 3A, FDA, EC 1935/2044 and USP class VI approvals.
• Wide choice of aseptic adapters
• Perfect for mixing tanks with agitators, CIP processes, storage tanks and process tanks, especially for quick tank fillings and emptying (200 mm/s)
• Guaranteed 5 years
