Vibrating flat level switches offer features such as no protrusion into the tank (a feature shared with capacitive flat level switches), highly safe operation due to seal welding, and simple maintenance. These level switches are optimal for ensuring sanitary conditions, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
The vibrating diaphram is welded to the disk of a cylindrical drum. The entire wetted section is fully welded. The vibration system uses a coil drive system that incorporates DITECH’s original magnetic bias. Compared with the piezoelectric element system, the vibration system is better in permissible pressure, temperature resistance and vibration efficiency, and is therefore highly sensitive.
The vibrating diaphram is magnetically driven to vibrate. In a granular material or liquid, the amplitude of the vibrating diaphram’s vibration is reduced and, in an ultimate condition, stops. The diaphram’s condition is output as a contact signal.
Room- and high-temperature models are available. There are two types of room-temperature models: general-purpose and granular material-only types.
General-purpose type Designed for a wide range of applications to measure materials such as liquids, granular materials and slurry. |
Granular material-only type Since this type does not detect liquids, its applications include interface detection of sediments and granular materials in a liquid. |

This model is composed of both detector unit, transducer (relay power source) and special cable. Transducer may be installed far from the area exposed to Heat, Steam, Vibration, Powder or Gas. This has the same characteristics as those of Integrated transducer unit type as to performance.
This model is composed of both detector unit with self-contained transducer and relay power source (Model PS-7). The transducer contained in the detector head requires no special cable. For this reason, the dangerous area may be kept away unlimitedly from the safe area. As to performance, this model has the same characteristics as those of Model DTA-F.
