Tube-11 Vibrating Rod Level Switch with Cable Extension
With the suspension cable, the Vibrating Rod Level Switch can be applied in tall and narrow silos, even in oscillating environments, particularly suitable for the sediment measurement in liquid.
The Jiwei Tube-11 Vibration Rod Level Switch with Suspension Cable is a rod level switch with a cable extension for solids. With the suspension cable, the Vibrating Rod Level Switch can be applied in tall and narrow silos, even in oscillating environments, particularly suitable for the sediment measurement in liquid.
In industrial settings, heavy material build-up and mechanical stresses are a challenge for any level switch. This is not a problem for Tube-11: The flexible suspension cable avoids material abrasion and mechanical strain caused by movement of the bulk solid and reliably alarms against overfilling.
The operating principle is completely the same as that of the standard Tube-11 model. In terms of the structure, high-temperature model is assembled an extension tube between the housing and the process connection, so that the temperature in the housing can be reduced to a normal range where the electronic devices can tolerant. At the same time, all piezoelectric components that drive and detect the vibration are selected from high-temperature resistant piezoelectric ceramics, electrodes, wires, and encapsulant materials. These high-temperature designs ensure the instrument work reliably in process temperature conditions up to 250 ℃.

② Cover exhaust nozzle with whistle from instrument accessories and position the whistle such that whistle’s internal wall at its vent side is tightly attached to the external wall of exhaust nozzle, slowly increase the flow of cooling air until whistle blows up. This is when cooling air is at the expected minimum flow.
● Silo with mixture of CaSO₄ and CaSO₃ resulting from semi-dry desulfurizing reaction at a coal power plant.
● The problem of medium buildup has been successfully solved due to a larger redundancy.
● The fluctuation of humidity results in an unstable dielectric constant of the mixture of CaSO₄ and CaSO₃, but Jiwei Tube-11 Vibrating Level Switch could provide a reliable measurement in this situation because the measurement is independent of dielectric constant.
● Environment friendly fuel tank in combustion system at power plant.
The density of sawdust or straw is as low as 0.1g /cm3, which is out of range for most of level switches on the market. However, Jiwei Tube-11 successfully provided a reliable result in this situation, while Tube-11 can work reliably for medium density as low as 0.02g/cm3.
● Electrostatic precipitator bag, ash hopper and conveying pump in ash transport system at power plant.
The probe of Tube-11 is only 125mm long, significantly reduces the impact area from filling material and prevents the probe from impact damage.
● Alumina silo.
Alumina particles are lumpy, and extreme working conditions of strong magnetic field and harsh ambient. Alumina silo has high requirements for level measuring instruments, Jiwei Vibrating Rod Level Switches are able to offer maximum reliability.
● Coal bunker in ash collector (fly ash silo).
● PVC granule storage silo, and silo in packaging line at chemical plant.
● Activated carbon particles.
● Glass fragments.
● Powders and particles with process temperature in 400℃.
