Capacitive Sensor Detects Point Level in Pellet Heating System

Turck Automation Suite enables convenient commissioning when the digital potentiometer of the UC/BC sensors is not accessible

Challenge

In pellet heating systems, pellets from big bags or other storage containers are sucked into the suction chamber until it is filled to the defined point level. This results in the formation of a cone of pellets in the suction chamber, which makes the measurement at the edge of the container imprecise. The point level measurement must therefore be taken from the center of the suction chamber. Optical sensors are unsuitable here due to the buildup of dust.
