Durable and Rugged : Capacitive proximity sensors are the perfect solution for detecting nonmetallic objects and substances. Whether for liquids, granules, paper, or wood, they reliably monitor the fill level in production processes. A wide variety of designs and sensing ranges ensures flexible use in virtually every kind of application. In the agricultural industry or wood processing industry, they are used to monitor the fill level of liquids and solids. In process engineering in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, they enable reliable detection of materials in plastic containers. Particularly rugged, durable versions made of stainless steel or chemically resistant housing material are available for use in harsh industrial environments

Capacitive sensors can be used to detect metal objects as well as nearly all other materials. These sensors are often used in applications including level, flow control for detection of liquids, grains and powders.
