Extra flexibility at high temperatures

Baumer has released the CleverLevel switch series which includes five LBFS product variants. Claimed to be the world’s most compact level switch based on frequency sweep technology, the series includes a cooling neck for high temperature applications and a long version for improved level detection in bulk media.

The LBFS product variants are said to be maintenance-free and ensure solid performance in level detection. They are claimed to endure long-term temperatures up to 200°C which provides additional benefits in demanding hygiene applications in food and beverage as well as in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Due to their high-temperature capabilities, the CleverLevel LBFS sensors improve process safety with maximum service life even under extreme conditions.

Both 82 and 250mm designs are said to work well in high temperature applications as well as in tanks with thick layers of insulation and in cone-bottom kettles. They can be vertically installed at the inside tank edge for fill level monitoring. When it comes to highly viscous or bulk media, the product variant with adjustable process connection can be optimally placed in the process to prevent faulty switching operations and unwanted downtime for enhanced equipment productivity.

The CleverLevel series ensures reliable process control and is easy to install. A choice of adaptors simplifies equipment design allowing it to be retrofitted with virtually any common process connection.
