Capanivo - CN 7120 - Stainless Steel Capacitive Sensor

Brand: UWT GmbH

The Capanivo® CN 7120 Stainless Steel Capacitive Sensor stands out as a robust, intelligently designed capacitive level sensor, offering exceptional performance for point-level detection in a wide spectrum of applications—from fine powders in food processing to heavier bulk solids in construction materials. Built with durable materials and supported by advanced signal conditioning, it resists the challenges typically posed by dust-laden, sticky, or fast-changing process conditions.

By thoroughly understanding its mechanical design, electrical setup, and calibration procedures, plant engineers and operators can fully exploit the CN 7120’s capabilities. This sensor’s minimal maintenance needs, combined with features such as adjustable sensitivity and fail-safe options, allow for flexible integration into existing control frameworks, including PLC or SCADA systems.

Key Benefits

Integrated Electronics
Simplifies wiring, reduces component count, and eases troubleshooting.

Rugged Materials
Stainless steel and high-grade polymeric seals sustain longevity under mechanical, thermal, or chemical stress.

Accurate Switching
Advanced filtering ensures stable detection of even subtle capacitance variations.

Broad Versatility
Suited for powders, grains, certain liquids, or sticky slurries; multiple mount styles accommodate unique vessel geometries.

For those seeking a reliable, cost-effective point-level sensor, the CN 7120’s track record in diverse industries underscores its adaptability and resilience.

Features
  • Easy integration in existing processes with IO-Link technology
  • "Tip Sensitivity" and "Active Shield Technology" ensure reliable measurement results even with sticky or foaming media
  • Suitable for CIP/SIP-processes with temperatures up to 150°C
