Technical details and application highlights

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

The Vibranivo VN 5040 is a high-performance vibrating fork level switch designed for accurate point level detection in dry and free-flowing bulk solids. It is widely used in industrial storage silos and process vessels to monitor material levels efficiently. Built for flexibility and durability, this device enables precise control of filling and emptying processes, ensuring smooth operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

The VN 5040 offers adjustable probe length through a modular tube extension system, allowing customization based on application requirements. Its robust housing design provides additional wiring space, simplifying installation and maintenance. The device supports multiple output configurations and voltage ranges, ensuring compatibility with various control systems.

Application

This level switch is suitable for industries handling powders, granules, and other bulk materials. It is commonly applied in storage bins, silos, and processing units where accurate level detection is essential. It helps prevent overflow, reduces downtime, and ensures uninterrupted production processes.

Design & Functionality

The vibrating fork technology operates by detecting changes in vibration frequency when the fork comes into contact with material. This ensures reliable switching regardless of material density variations above the minimum threshold. The device is engineered for top and horizontal mounting, making it adaptable to different installation setups.

Total Crossed Beams

The VN 5040 uses a vibration-based sensing mechanism rather than optical or beam-based detection, ensuring consistent performance even in dusty or harsh environments.

Beam Pitch Options

Instead of beam configurations, the sensor relies on fork vibration sensitivity, which can be adjusted to suit different material characteristics.

Intrinsic Synchronism

The device maintains stable operation through consistent vibration frequency, ensuring accurate switching even under fluctuating process conditions.

Operational Advantages

The VN 5040 enhances operational efficiency by providing reliable level detection in bulk solids. It minimizes material wastage, prevents overfilling, and reduces manual monitoring. With its durable construction and flexible configuration, it supports long-term industrial use while maintaining high accuracy and performance.
