Design & Functionality
The KGFR series operates using capacitive sensing technology, where the monitored medium functions as a dielectric material. When material contacts the sensing area, the capacitance changes and triggers a switching signal for process control systems.
Its PTFE housing provides excellent resistance against corrosive substances and sticky process media. The rounded sensor tip helps materials slide away quickly, reducing false triggering caused by buildup or residue accumulation.
Total Crossed Beams
The KGFR series uses precision capacitive field detection to maintain accurate switching behavior even in challenging industrial media. The optimized sensing structure improves response consistency in both liquid and powder applications.
Beam Pitch Options
The compact sensing geometry enables stable level detection in confined tank installations and narrow process vessels. This design supports efficient integration into automated industrial filling systems.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor maintains dependable switching accuracy during continuous process operation, helping reduce downtime, overflow risks, and unstable level readings in demanding production environments.
Operational Advantages
The KGFR capacitive level switch improves process reliability by preventing false switching caused by adhesion and sticky material buildup. Its PTFE construction extends service life in chemically aggressive applications while supporting precise level control for industrial automation systems. The sensor is especially effective for difficult low dielectric media where conventional level switches often struggle.
