Level probe for toothpaste
Level probe for toothpaste
(OP)
Hi All
I work in a toothpaste manufacturing plant and we continually have problems with the capacitive probes we use for paste level detection (Endress+Hauser liquid level probes - they were there before I was!).
The problem is the paste "clings" to the probe, thus giving false readings.
Any suggestions for a better probe? Would a capacitive probe with 3 legs do the trick?
Any help appreciated,
rmacp.

Have you thought of vibratory tuning fork type level switches?(if you are already using capacitive type transmitter, I presume that you don't need continuous level monitoring)
The Thread698-71018 is very interesting. Have a look at it.
