Review the complete description, feature set, and specification details before sending your inquiry.

The RFnivo RF 3100 is a high-performance capacitive point level sensor engineered for accurate detection of bulk solids in industrial storage and process environments. Designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures and pressure conditions, it provides precise level switching for powders, granules, and solid materials. Its advanced sensing technology ensures consistent performance even in challenging conditions where buildup and material coating are common.

Key Features

  • Capacitive measurement for precise point level detection
  • Reliable operation in high temperatures up to +240°C
  • Active Shield technology minimizes buildup interference
  • Suitable for low dielectric materials (DK ≥ 1.6)
  • Flexible mounting options for varied industrial setups
  • Durable construction for harsh process conditions
  • Adjustable sensitivity and switching parameters

Application

The RF 3100 is widely used in industries handling bulk solids such as cement, food processing, chemicals, mining, and agriculture. It is ideal for monitoring full, empty, and demand levels in silos, hoppers, storage tanks, and process vessels. The sensor helps prevent overflow, material shortage, and process interruptions while maintaining consistent production flow.

Design & Functionality

This capacitive level sensor uses an advanced probe design to detect changes in electrical capacitance caused by the presence of material. Its robust housing and multiple probe configurations allow installation in vertical, horizontal, or angled positions. The integrated Active Shield function ensures that dust, coating, or buildup does not impact measurement accuracy, making it highly reliable in demanding environments.

Total Crossed Beams

The RF 3100 utilizes a focused sensing field to ensure accurate detection at a defined point level, reducing false triggering and improving operational stability.

Beam Pitch Options

Available in multiple probe configurations including rod and rope versions, allowing customization based on vessel size and application requirements.

Intrinsic Synchronism

The sensor maintains stable switching behavior through adaptive signal processing, ensuring consistent detection regardless of material variations.

Operational Advantages

  • Minimizes maintenance due to buildup immunity
  • Improves process efficiency with accurate level control
  • Enhances safety by preventing overfill conditions
  • Supports continuous industrial operation in extreme environments
  • Reduces downtime with reliable and durable performance
