02.09.2013 Accurate level measurement from outside the storage vessel

Fluidwell Instruments, Veghel, the Netherlands, has launched the LNI 250, an extension of its Triflex level detection sensors family. Like the LNI 200, which was introduced by the company in the summer of 2012, this latest device incorporates field time control (FTC) technology, which generates an electric field between a transmitting electrode and multiple receiving electrodes. The cycle time of the FTC level sensor changes as soon as the solid particles are detected by this electric field.  

The distinguishing feature of the patented Triflex LNI 250 is its ability to reliably measure conductive material in a non-metallic tank without having to be located inside the tank. There is therefore no direct contact with the stored product. Benefits include no risks of contamination of the product, easy access for maintenance (without process interruption), suitable for small/complicated storage vessels, easy plug-and-play installation, suitable for aggressive materials or environments and not affected by changing process conditions inside the vessel. The Triflex LNI 250 is suitable for a wide range of applications, but especially for industries with conductive bulk products (solids and liquids) where product contact needs to be avoided (e.g. out of health reasons or with acids). 
Louis Ras, general manager of Fluidwell Instruments, commented: “With the help of FTC technology we developed a unique product that makes a difference. The Triflex LNI 250 has been validated by several large manufacturers, including VOBRA, a producer of pet food in the Netherlands: their set-up of a counterflow drier for dog food, without access points on the inside, did not offer the option of measuring technologies like TDR/radar solutions. The Triflex LNI 250 has proven to be their only solution for a continuous and efficient process, stimulating output, margins and product quality. The additional cost benefits with installation and maintenance increased their satisfaction even further.” www.fluidwell.com
