Tell us your material, vessel and measurement goal. RTS will help identify a suitable UWT solution for your application.
Point-level switches report whether material has reached one location. Continuous instruments measure a changing level for inventory or process control. Choose that job first, then compare the sensing principle and installation.
Choose the job below to compare the equipment, application guidance, videos and available literature.
Switch at a point
Signal when bulk material reaches a selected point.
Example: Provide a high- or low-level signal in a grain bin.
Also known as: Paddle level switches, bin level switches, Rotonivo RN 3000/6000.
Sense with vibration
Detect whether bulk solids cover a vibrating sensing element.
Example: Detect a low or high level of a suitable granular ingredient.
Also known as: Vibrating fork switches, vibrating level switches, Vibranivo VN 4000.
Switch capacitively
Detect material at a selected location using a capacitive probe.
Example: Provide a level-limit signal for a powder bin.
Also known as: Capacitive level switches, RF admittance switches, RFnivo RF 3000.
Measure without contact
Measure a changing level without a probe touching the material.
Example: Monitor a tank or suitable bulk-solids vessel without a mechanical sensing weight.
Also known as: Non-contact radar sensors, NivoRadar NR 7100, continuous radar level.
Measure capacitively
Measure changing liquid level or a suitable interface with a contact probe.
Example: Monitor the level of a suitable process liquid in a vessel.
Also known as: Continuous capacitive level sensors, NivoCapa NC 8000, interface measurement.
Measure with a weight
Measure bulk-solid level with an automatically lowered sensing weight.
Example: Take scheduled level measurements in a bulk storage silo.
Also known as: Plumb-bob level systems, electromechanical level measurement, NivoBob NB 3000.
Need a full or empty signal, or a continuous level reading?.
Bulk solid or liquid, vessel dimensions, minimum and maximum level, density or dielectric properties, temperature, buildup, filling pattern, output signal, and hazardous-area requirements.
RTS helps bring the application, installation and manufacturer options together before recommending equipment.
Send the application details early: Bulk solid or liquid, vessel dimensions, minimum and maximum level, density or dielectric properties, temperature, buildup, filling pattern, output signal, and hazardous-area requirements.
Compare the equipment with the material and the result your process needs.
A local contact for application discussions, quotations and follow-up.
Discuss replacement equipment, parts and recurring process problems.
Review the upstream supply and downstream equipment as part of the application.
UWT explains rotary-paddle point-level detection for bulk solids. This principle video is useful for reviewing full or empty indications and mounting.
