Rechner 2 in 1 sensor solution!

1st January 2022

Often, in production processes, and especially in Food + Pharmaceutical set-ups, the addition of one ingredient to another can develop into a significant change in the resultant detected dielectric of the final mixture.

A capacitive sensor set for the first ingredient may not completely reliably detect the final combination if high and low dielectric media are included. Where this is the case a second sensor might be required to verify the blend fill level inside a vessel.

Rechner’s latest Two-In-One 26 Series multi-functional sensor is the solution for these types of installation, providing two sensors for the price of one!

This excellent new Rechner device (KA1641), which is based on the successful High Performance 26 Series range, has a configurable multi-functional twin switched output. The sensor can be set for two different dielectric media to deliver dual accurate process level control feedback for each product without the need to reset the sensor.

Please note that Rechner’s latest Two-In-One 26 Series sensors can detect incredibly low dielectric products of εr 1.1 which is outstanding!

The Two-In-One sensors from Rechner have further multi-functionality as they can have the two switched outputs configured to an Antivalent format with Normally Open (N/O) plus Normally Closed (N/C) arrangement. Alternatively, they can be set for two N/O outputs with independent switch points or two separate N/C outputs. The flexible set-up capability with these new devices gives complete control freedom with a single level sensor.

The Two-In-One range sensors are available in a Food + Pharma certified PTFE body (FDA 21 CFR 177.1550) with excellent proven chemical resistance for CIP regimes.

As standard, each Two-In-One sensor, includes the Rechner Quatro-Protect facility, which has the highest protection against electrical noise, spikes and transients delivering the best safeguard available from all interference.
