Vibrating diamond-point level switch for dry bulk solids — from cement, stone and aggregates to flour and cornflakes. Self-cleaning and tip-sensitive, so it ignores silo-wall build-up for reliable high, low or demand level detection.
The Hycontrol DP240 Diamond Point Level Probe is a robust point level switch designed specifically for dry bulk solids, handling everything from heavy materials such as stone, aggregates and cement through to very low-density products like cornflakes and flour. Its distinctive diamond-shaped tip and vibrating operating principle make the probe sensitive only near its end, so it reliably detects the presence or absence of material while ignoring build-up further along the shaft. This self-cleaning action is a key advantage in dusty, sticky or bridging-prone silos, where conventional switches can give false readings from wall coating and accumulation.
Compact and simple to install, the DP240 mounts through the top or side of a silo, bin or hopper and provides a clean switched output for high-level, low-level or demand alarms. With no calibration required and nothing complex to set up, it offers dependable, low-maintenance level detection across cement, quarrying, food, plastics, mining and animal-feed plant.
