STATE-OF-THE-ART
MIXING TECHNOLOGY
These fork sensors
withstand harsh conditions
GF Piping Systems
Balluff
This company's line
of
fork sensors
now includes IP69K-rated
self-contained through-beam sensors
(photo) that incorporate a 316L
stainless-steel housing that is able
to withstand exposure to aggressive
cleaning solutions, coolants and lubricants.
The protection provided by
the housing makes these sensors
suitable for the food and beverage,
packaging, metalworking and pharmaceutical
industries. These sensors
are available in 50- and 80-mm
widths, and feature normally open
and normally closed outputs that
allow for easy integration into control
schemes. The sensors are equipped
with power infrared light sources, as
well as LEDs for power and switching
indication in the connector. -

New radar level transmitters for
challenging tank installations
Two new models of level transmitter
- Type 2290 and 2291 (photo)
- have been designed for use in
challenging tank applications where
other contacting or non-contacting
measuring principles face limitations.
Type 2290 is a compact non-contact
radar level transmitter that is available
in a variety of materials to resist
very corrosive environments. With its
tank mapping function, it is easy to
block out objects like internal pipes,
welding seams, stirrers or heating
elements. Type 2291 is a guidedradar
level transmitter that provides
measurement even in very turbulent
process vessels. The radar signal is
sent down the probe assembly, eliminating
the interferences caused by
low dielectric liquids, heavy fuming,
slightly conductive foams or internal
tank obstructions. Both transmitters
are suited for applications in harsh
environments, and communication
can be either via HART or analog. -
