This food-grade level switch and indicator provides a reliable and hygienic solution for monitoring liquid levels in tanks up to 1 metre in height. Designed specifically for food and beverage applications, this device ensures both safety and compliance with industry standards.
The DS200P level switch operates using hydrostatic pressure, meaning it measures the pressure exerted by the liquid column to determine the level. This method is highly accurate and unaffected by changes in the liquid’s density, temperature, or viscosity. The unit features a robust stainless steel 316L diaphragm, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of food and beverage products. This ensures long-term performance and minimizes the risk of contamination.
The integrated LED gauge indicator provides a clear visual representation of the tank’s liquid level, allowing for quick and easy monitoring. This is particularly useful in applications where constant visual confirmation is required, such as in small-batch production or during critical processing stages.
A key advantage of this device is its adjustable threshold. This means you can set the switch to activate at any desired level within the 0 to 1 metre range. This flexibility makes it suitable for diverse applications, from simple high-level alarms to more complex control systems. For example, it could be used to trigger a pump to refill a tank when the level falls below a certain point, or to activate an alarm if the level exceeds a safe limit.
The switch utilizes a PNP contact output, a common signal type in industrial automation. This allows for easy integration with PLCs, control panels, and other automation equipment. The DIN plug electrical connection further simplifies installation and ensures a secure connection.
Typical applications for this food-grade level switch and indicator include:
- Dairy processing: Monitoring milk levels in storage tanks and pasteurization vats
- Breweries: Controlling the level of wort in fermentation vessels
- Food processing: Managing liquid ingredients in mixing tanks and holding vessels
- Beverage production: Maintaining precise levels in juice and soft drink tanks
The compact design and clamp-style pressure connection make it easy to install on various tank types and sizes. The optional cable extension allows for flexible positioning of the indicator, even if the tank is located in a difficult-to-access area.
