Description
The Mononivo® MN 4040 vibrating rod level switch provides a robust, low-maintenance solution for point-level detection in bulk solid processes. Its single-rod design, advanced electronic filtering, and minimal calibration needs suit industries handling grain, flour, plastics, chemicals, cement, and more. By detecting mechanical damping rather than electrical properties, it remains resilient in changing moisture or dielectric conditions, while minimal moving parts lower the risk of mechanical jams.
Key benefits for include:
Ease of Integration
Relay, transistor, or two-wire outputs align with standard PLCs or SCADA setups.
Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Enclosure
Achieves IP66/IP67 or higher, vital for dusty or washdown environments.
Optional Fail-Safe Modes
Ensures safe outcomes if power is lost or the sensor malfunctions.
Flexible Mounting
Threaded or flanged connections, with or without extensions, adapt to diverse silo/hopper geometries and fill strategies.
The MN 4040 can deliver years of reliable, cost-effective point-level detection, safeguarding productivity and product integrity in industrial bulk solid operations.
Features- Maintenance-free sensor for use in many bulk materials. Particularly suitable for very light bulk solids
- Flexibility in probe length due to self-assembly kit
- Plug and play level limit switch without calibration
