The VN 1050 vibrating fork level switch is engineered for precise point level detection in dry, free-flowing solids. Designed for use in storage silos and process vessels, this advanced sensor ensures consistent monitoring of bulk materials such as powders, granules, and pellets. With a configurable cable extension and robust construction, it delivers reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features
- Accurate point level detection using vibration-based technology
- Flexible cable extension up to extended lengths for deep vessels
- High sensitivity for low-density solids (>50 g/l)
- Durable stainless steel wetted parts for long service life
- Adjustable switching delay and sensitivity for process control
- Multiple signal output options for seamless integration
Application
The VN 1050 is widely used across industries handling bulk solids, including cement, food processing, chemicals, plastics, and agriculture. It is ideal for detecting full or empty levels in silos, bins, and hoppers. The sensor helps prevent overflow, ensures continuous production, and optimizes inventory management.
Design & Functionality
This vibrating fork sensor operates by detecting changes in vibration frequency when covered by material. The cable extension design allows installation in tall or hard-to-reach vessels. Its robust housing and high mechanical load resistance ensure stability even in applications with lateral forces.
Total Crossed Beams
The sensing fork structure maintains stable vibration behavior, ensuring accurate detection even with varying material densities and flow conditions.
Beam Pitch Options
Optimized fork geometry enhances sensitivity and minimizes false triggering, allowing consistent performance across different bulk solid types.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor maintains consistent vibration frequency, ensuring reliable switching performance without frequent recalibration.
Operational Advantages
- Prevents overfill and material loss
- Reduces maintenance and downtime
- Enhances process safety and automation
- Performs reliably in harsh industrial environments
- Easy installation with versatile mounting options
