Industrial Applications

1. Liquid Level Detection in Non-Metallic Tanks

This sensor can accurately detect the presence or absence of liquids through non-metallic tank walls, providing reliable level control without direct contact with the medium.

Problem Solved

Prevents overfilling or underfilling of tanks containing water, chemicals, or oils, crucial for process control and safety, leveraging its capacitive sensing capability, 5mm non-flush installation, PBT housing, and IP67 rating.
