UWT Vibrating Level Switches

Detect whether bulk solids cover a vibrating sensing element.

Vibrating Level Switches for your process

Detect whether bulk solids cover a vibrating sensing element.

UWT Vibranivo bulk-solids switches use a vibrating element for point-level detection. The VN 4000 literature shown here addresses a bulk-solids fork arrangement. Select the model around the material, density, mounting and process conditions rather than treating every vibrating switch as identical.

Example: Detect a low or high level of a suitable granular ingredient.

Also known as: Vibrating fork switches, vibrating level switches, Vibranivo VN 4000.

Use a fixed-point indication

the output changes when the sensing condition changes.

Review the actual material

low density, buildup and particle size affect selection.

Choose a suitable location

avoid unsupported assumptions about filling impact or mechanical loads.

How It Works

1

Vibrate the sensing element

2

Material covers or uncovers it

3

Electronics provide the selected limit signal

Typical Materials & Industries

Food granules

coffee and other bulk ingredients need a density and hygiene review.

Plastics

granules and powders require model-specific assessment.

Industrial solids

confirm buildup, abrasion and process temperature.

Vibranivo operating principle

UWT explains vibrating point-level sensing across its Vibranivo range. The family video includes different duties; the featured VN 4000 literature on this page addresses bulk solids.
