Vibration level switch for solid applications* Point level detection of powders and fine-grained bulk solids
* Probe length: 220 mm / 8.7"
* Density: <8 g/l / <0.49 lb/ft3
* -50…+250°C / -58…+482°F; -1…16 barg / -14.5…232 psig
The OPTISWITCH 3100 is a compact vibration level switch suitable for solids. It can be used for applications with a low density (e.g. aerosol) or for solid detection (e.g. in the water of sedimentation tanks at hydro-electric power stations).
Product highlights
* Abrasion resistant and highly robust design
