Measure the Level of Plastics Granulate

| By Chemical Engineering

The capacitive sensors for the BCC Sensor Series have been introduced especially for level measurement of plastic granulates. Capable of detecting even the smallest grain sizes, the BCC Series also offers a high level of EMC performance and are especially resistant to electrostatic discharge — a frequent problem that often causes sensor failure with plastic granulates in pipe systems and silos. The BCC sensors also eliminate interference caused by metal-flange mounting thanks to the lateral shielding and an integrated processor unit. In this way, the user can utilize the full switching distance, says the manufacturer. — Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG, Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany
