Precise media detection with two wire electronics and “Tip sensitivity” Tomatoes Capacitance level measurement in tomato paste production Measuring sensors working with the capacitive principle are the all-rounders among limit switches because they have the highest application performance in the basic version. They can be found in overfill protection as well as demand and empty indicators in process or storage vessels as well as in leakage monitoring and interface detection and can be used in all tank types and shapes, regardless of whether the vessels are metallic or non-metallic. Due to their high sensitivity, their compactness and the variety of booms, they are particularly suitable for the different process requirements of the nutrition industry. A well-known manufacturer of different foods within the Latin American markets implemented the capacitance level indicator Capanivo® from UWT GmbH for his tomato paste container at the Lima location. For full detection the CN 7000 series was applied, which has process connection made of stainless
