Miniature level switch for extra flexibility at high temperatures

Baumer has released five LBFS product variants in its CleverLevel Series. The world’s most compact level switch based on frequency sweep technology now includes a cooling neck for high temperature applications and a long version for improved level detection in bulk media.

The LBFS product variants are claimed to offer convenience, are maintenance-free and ensure solid performance in level detection. They are said to endure long-term temperatures up to 200°C which provides additional benefits in food and beverage as well as in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Thanks 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 can be deployed in tanks with thick layers of insulation as well as in cone-bottom kettles and 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 is claimed to ensure reliable process control and is easy to install. A choice of adaptors simplifies equipment design and can be retrofitted with virtually any common process connection.
