Vibration level switch

Vibranivo® - VN 1030

Application area

The vibrating fork Vibranivo® VN 1030 is used in storage and process vessels as a full, demand, and empty detector in many dry and free flowing bulk solids. The measuring probe can be flexibly adjusted up to a length of 4000 mm and puts the switching point where the application needs it. The high surface quality of the stainless steel probe also makes it ideal for use in applications with hygienic requirements.
