Capacitance Type Level
Switch for Liquids & Solids sensing matters

Product Overview
Trumen capacitance type point level switch model LMC is suitable for
conductive and nonconductive liquid, solid and powder & use in all
process industries like food, beverages, chemical, pharma, oil & gas,
water treatment plant, cement, and many more. Trumen LMC is fully,
partially PTFE & ceramic insulated and available in rigid rod probe &
flexible rope probe for point level detection of bulk solids and liquids.
LMC is available for various service temperatures from regular 80 °C to
600 °C.

Operating Principle
Capacitance type limit switch
is a static level sensor, Its
sensing parts are:-

Earth Extension (body)

Sensing Rod (or Rope as per application)

The capacitance is formed by

the sense rod and earth extension.
C(air)
When material is absent,
the capacitance is analogically
a multiple of probe dimension
and dielectric constant of air
{ε(air) ≈ 1}.

C(material) When material is present, the

capacitance gets multiplied by
dielectric constant of the material.

This variation in capacitance, which

is due to the dielectric property of
C(material) > C(air)
material, is then translated into
Applications switching output by the device.
Capacitance level switch probe is used in different With two point independent type switches,
applications like two different values are mapped to two
- Water - Chemical different outputs and thus only one level
- Paints - Cement switch can provide two different level
- Animal feed - Food & Beverages outputs.
- Rice plants - Diesel
- Soya plants - Pharma liquids
- Dye powder - Resins
- Edible oil - Gypsum
- Milk powder - Corrosive liquid
