| Pepperl+Fuchs releases Vibracon LVL-B level switch | ||

 July 5, 2007 - TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces Vibracon LVL-B Series Vibration Limit Switches. Vibracon LVL-B Series sensors are insensitive to material build-up, external vibration and flow noise, and have no mechanical moving parts for reliable, maintenance-free level sensing of bulk solids materials. Specifically designed to satisfy the unique level sensing needs of the bulk solids industry, the Vibracon LVL-B Series is an ideal solution for sensing fine or coarse-grained material such as grain, sugar, animal feed, beans, gypsum, sand, plastic granules, chalk, cereals, rice, detergents and cement, among others. They are FM and CSA certified as Dust Ignition Proof (DIP) for Class II and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E-G, making them a suitable solution in hazardous area applications. Vibracon LVL-B Series sensors feature a compact 250 mm (10 in.) vibrating rod, and are available with 500 mm (20 in.), 1000 mm (40 in.) and 1500 mm (60 in.) extension pipes, making them suitable for installation and operation in literally any direction to suit any bulk solids application requirement. The sensor itself is constructed of stainless steel to eliminate abrasion issues. A plastic housing with cover sight glass makes the switch status easily visible from outside the hopper. An aluminum housing is also available. The principle of operation is simple. The probe vibrates at a fixed frequency and when the material damps the vibration, the LVL-B will switch its output to alert the control system. PROTECTING YOUR PROCESS Pepperl+Fuchs has over 3,400 employees in more than 30 countries. We are a world leader in the design, manufacture, application and support of a broad range of automation solutions to a diverse range of process industry applications. Pepperl+Fuchs is the market leader for intrinsic safety interfaces and hazardous location equipment. Our FieldConnex Fieldbus Installation System for Profibus PA and FOUNDATION fieldbus provides maximum fieldbus flexibility to modern process automation applications. Additionally, our BEBCO EPS Purge & Pressurization System provides rugged protection for any type of instrumentation. This comprehensive range of explosion protection systems is complemented by technologies such as EXTEC Visualization+Operation systems, as well as on-line corrosion monitoring transmitters and level detection instruments. |
