Capanivo - CN 4020 Capacitive Sensor

The Capanivo® CN 4020  Capacitive Sensor stands out as a dependable, user-friendly capacitive point-level sensor suitable for a wide spectrum of industrial applications—from grain silos and plastic hoppers to dusty feed mills and beyond. Its compact design, robust construction, and minimal maintenance requirements address the primary concerns of plant engineers and operators alike: reliability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness.

By utilizing advanced capacitive measurement principles, the CN 4020 ensures accurate detection of multiple types of bulk materials. Its active shielding or compensation features help mitigate the risks posed by material buildup or bridging, reducing false triggers. Integration with plant PLCs or SCADA systems is straightforward thanks to a variety of output and power supply configurations.

For organizations emphasizing optimized production, investing in a sensor solution like the CN 4020 can help avoid costly incidents such as silo overfills, empty-hopper downtime, or cross-contamination. When properly installed and calibrated, the sensor becomes a set-and-forget component, allowing operators to focus on other critical plant functions.
