SICK – LFC level sensor
The LFC capacitive level switch is a flexible, simple and, above all, cost-effective solution for point level measurement in fluid media. When measuring containers or for dry-run protection in piping, the LFC features particularly high performance thanks to its simple installation, very easy cleaning, compact design and long service life.
Description
The LFC capacitive level switch is a flexible, simple and, above all, cost-effective solution for point level measurement in fluid media. When measuring containers or for dry-run protection in piping, the LFC features particularly high performance thanks to its simple installation, very easy cleaning, compact design and long service life. Due to the EHEDG- and 3-A-certified hygienic design and a process temperature of up to 135 °C, it is also perfectly suited for CIP and SIP applications. The LFC can easily display or blank foam and deposits.
