Product catalog summary
Application
The Alfa Laval level switch is designed for precise level indication in sanitary and pharmaceutical production. Key features include:
  • Wetted parts made of AISI 316L stainless steel and PEEK
  • Compact and hygienic design
  • Operating temperature range from -40 to 200°C
  • Integrated LED indicator
  • Unaffected by foam
  • Suitable for media registration through changes in product dielectricity
  • Quick teach option for challenging media
  • Maintenance-free
Standard Range
The level transmitter is suitable for measuring liquids like water and beer, as well as viscous and sticky fluids such as honey, yoghurt, and toothpaste. It can also measure dry media like sugar or flour. The integrated electronics provide a digital logic signal and compensate for foam, bubbles, and sticky media. It is suitable for CIP and SIP processes with a hygienic installation using Clamp DN 38 (ISO2852) / Clamp DN 40 (DIN32676) connections.
Working Principle
The level switch uses a high-frequency signal sweep radiated from the sensor tip into the tank. The media acts as a virtual capacitor, forming a circuit with a coil in the sensor head to create the switch point signal. This depends on the media's dielectric value.

 Level switch-1

. kyThe level switch for sanitary use Alfa Laval Level Switch . Application The Alfa Laval level switch is designed to fulfill the demands for precise level indication in the Sanitary and pharmaceutical production. Main features are: - Wetted parts in AISI 316L, stainless steel and PEEK - Compact, and hygienic design - Process temperature -40...200°C - LED indicator integrated into the field housing - Not influenced by foam - Ideal for media registration through registration of changes in product dielectricity - Quick teach option for difficult medias - Maintenance free Standard range The Alfa Laval level transmitter is ideal for measurements in liquids such as water and beer as well as viscous, sticky fluids, such as honey, yoghurt and toothpaste. Even dry medias can be measured, eg. sugar or flour. The integrated electronics provide a digital logic signal and has incorporated automatic compensation of foam, bubbles and condensate as well as sticky media. Due to the high temperature limit the Alfa Laval level switch is well suitable for CIP and SIP processes. The hygienic installation is guaranteed by using the hygienic Clamp DN 38 (ISO2852) / Clamp DN 40 (DIN32676) connection. Working principle The Alfa Laval level switch uses a high frequency signal sweep which is radiated from the sensor tip into the tank. The media will act as a virtual capacitor which, together with a coil in the sensor head, will form a circuit creating the switch point signal. This virtual capacity will depend on the di-electric value of the media which is well defined for most medias Technical data Accuracy repeatabullyti: . . . . . . . . . . .±1 mm.
