Rechner's 26-Series Ignores Massive Material Build-up

-

Rechner Sensors have designed a level control sensor that is specifically suited to handling the difficult task of level control of powders and liquids that have a tendency to build-up or stick to a level switch.



This sensor is ideal for replacing bulky vibro-rods, tuning forks, and paddle switches. With no moving parts and no place for material to build-up, the issue of mechanical failure is eliminated. You will never have to hit this sensor with a hammer!

The design of the 26-Series sensors not only implements a rounded tip at the sensing surface that reduces material build-up on its PTFE casing, but also includes a 3-Dimensional sensing surface inside the casing. Having a 3-Dimensional sensing surface is significant because it drastically increases the active area to greater than the active area of a standard 32mm diameter cylindrical body sensor. These properties allow the sensor to ignore a large volume of material build-up and solve the problem of dealing with compressible powders and non-conductive liquids.

Ideally suited for detecting:
  • Materials in both Hazardous and Non-Hazardous environments
  • Powders, including: Flours, non-abrasive Grains, and Pharmaceutical ingredients
  • Liquids, including: Beers, Whiskeys, Liquid Chocolate, White Glue, and non-conductive syrups
  • Industries: Food, Baking, Pharmaceuticals, and Alcohol
Different models include features like:
  • Tri-clamp mounting
  • EHEDG hygenic design certification
  • AtEx rating for areas with a risk of dust or gas explosion
  • CIP/SIP high temperature cleaning
  • High pressure rating to 145 PSI (10 bar)
And all models include “Quattro EMC Protect” electrical protections.

BlueTooth Capacitive Sensor

Level Control Made Easy is our motto. With that in mind, Rechner Sensors has designed the worlds first capacitive sensor with BlueTooth for industrial automation. With the provided android app you can remotely monitor your sensor to ensure it is adjusted correctly and that it is functioning properly from a remote location. Easily check the status of your sensor. The provided android app let's you monitor the ON and OFF switching points, the hysteresis, and the material buildup on the sensor in real time.  Be able to monitor the sensor from a remote location is also a valuable feature. Especially when the sensor is mounted in a remote location: remote monitoring can save time, staff, and increase safety. When a sensor is mounted at the top of a silo then no climbing needs to take place and safety measures do not need to be employed. If the sensor is in a robotic area, then the equipment does not need to be turned off. Also when workers bypass these safety measures a

LevelMaster Sensors for Conductive Products

-

The LevelMaster series of sensor are the ideal solution for conductive liquids and pastes. These sensor can ignore a large build up of conductive products like ketchup, mayonnaise, and brines. These sensors use EasyTeach technology and can be programmed for new materials in as little as 4 seconds. Simply immerse the sensor in the product you wish to detect, connect the teach wire to positive voltage until the LED flashes, and disconnect the teach wire to initialize the self-teaching function. For products that create foam, like beers, the sensor can detect the difference between the product itself and the foam on top of the product. The Level Master Sensor with hygienic design mounting adapters. In this video we demonstrate the sensor being programmed with 5 different materials. The materials include ketchup, mayonnaise, honey, beer, and beer foam. The sensor ignores massive buildup of material on the sensing area. The setup procedure is fast, easy, and accurate.
