In this video, Managing Director Nigel Allen from Hycontrol gives an overview of vibration probes for level measurement in solid and powder applications and shows the limitations of alternative technologies such as capacitance or rotary switches.

Advantages of diamond shape vibrations switches are:

• no moving parts = no maintenance required
• unaffected by temperature, pressure, humidity
• unaffected by material changes in dielectric
• unaffecte by dust clouds and agitaion
• no calibration required
• vibration has a self-cleaning effect
