PZP
 
Light Powders and Plastics are Easy to Sense

 

Elburn, IL -- Monitoring the high and low level of lightweight powders and plastic materials is critical to your process and difficult for most all level sensors to detect. Lightweight materials have little density, down to 1.25 pcf, and most often the dielectric constant of the material is very low as well. Traditional rotary paddle sensors won't work, and most RF capacitance sensors and tuning fork devices will be challenged as well.

Monitor Technologies is pleased to announce the availability of its Model PZP vibratory point level sensor with a single diamond-shape probe element and sensitivity to detect materials as light as 1.25 pounds per cubic foot. The single probe element eliminates false signaling associated with bridging material in tuning fork devices. The diamond shape probe can help shed material and assist in applications where material may tend to cling to the probe. The PZP comes available in a standard probe length as well as with pipe or cable extensions. In addition, a remote electronics option makes the sensor viable for higher temperature or high vibration applications.

Monitor Technologies LLC is a leading supplier of level measurement and monitoring instrumentation for the worldwide powder and bulk solids market. The experience and market knowledge gained over five decades has earned Monitor a reputation for providing high quality and reliable product solutions. Monitor is located in Elburn Illinois, give us a call today and let us put our creative solutions to work for you!

TrueCap® MK-2
Advanced RF Capacitance Level Probe

The TrueCap® Model MK-2 RF Capacitance point level probe is designed to provide a superior and stable sensitivity threshold making it suitable for a variety of powder / bulk solids and some liquid or slurry applications.

Advanced features of the Model MK-2 include:
> Automatic immunity to material build-up on the probe by its driven shield design
> Push-button calibration
> Enhanced temperature compensation
> Maximized reliability via smart sensing algorithms like “self-validating” fail-safe protection
> Visible status LED on ordinary location units
> Versatility through a variety of configuration options including: hazardous location version, split architecture design, quick-connect process connection, stub probe, cable extensions, solid extensions, Nylon® probes, Ryton® - equiv. probes, etc.

A practical application for the TrueCap would be to use this level sensor where a residual material build-up on a different sensor would cause a false material level indication.

Principle of Operation for the TrueCap RF Capacitance Level Probe:
The vessel wall and the active probe element establish an impedance reference between each other when exposed to air which has a dielectric constant of 1. When materials with a dielectric constant greater than 1 are in close proximity to the probe, the impedance of the sensing field between the sensor and the vessel wall will change. Once the amount of change exceeds a threshold that was electronically determined during the calibration process, an output relay will either be energized or de-energized depending upon the position of the fail-safe selector on the probe’s electronic circuit board. A change of as little as .5 pico-farad is all that is necessary for the probe to sense the presence of material.
