Operating Principle
The working principle of tuning fork type level switch is based on tuning fork’s natural frequency measurement. A specially shaped tuning fork is continuously vibrating at its natural frequency using piezo-electric elements and detecting the changes in frequency in the presence of application media. The pressure applied on diaphragm drives the tuning fork's tines apart from each other and return to their original position when the pressure is removed. As the material level increases and comes in contact with the vibrating fork tines, the frequency of oscillation of tuning fork level switch dampens or decreases as it covered with the liquid application media. The change in frequency is detected by the microprocessor leading to a switching decision. The threshold frequency is set to match the natural frequency of tuning fork type level switch under water.

Applications
Brewery Production Plant
To produce high quality beer that lasts longer demands a complex production process. This increasing quality requirement needs hygienic design fittings to ensure the resultant product safety. the overall process is performed under specific environmental conditions.
To deal with brewery's process requirements, Elixir vibrating tuning fork sensors is available with standard hygienic fittings. Additionally, laying out electrical cables saves time and cost with the AS-i bus interface.
Chemical Plant
Competition to sustain the performance and productivity of the chemical industry is the biggest challenge. Regular modernization demands liquid level measurement techniques that are independent of material reactions and provide rigid support throughout the process.
Back-to-back upgrades in our liquid level sensors make them capable enough to confront any tougher situation. The ECTFE coated tuning fork sensor extends the operating life under application media involving corrosive liquids.
Pharmaceutical Sectors
During this COVID pandemic, pharmaceutical sectors are at their peak to provide vaccination, sanitizers and disinfectatnts throughout the world. The pressure to produce the resultant output rapidly requires reliable process sensors.
Our fork level sensor with hygienic fittings are useful can configured with clean-in-place (CIP) fittings. The compactness of this tuning fork level sensor gives installation support in smaller mixing tanks and pipelines of process tanks.
