For industrial applications, the use of capacitive fill level sensors is a proven, universal and cost-efficient technique measuring the fill level and limit level of liquids, bulky goods, pastes, adhesives and chemically aggressive materials.
Use the CAPselect system to configure your compact probe entirely in line with your needs - depending on the application, container type and sensor properties. CAPTRON produces probes with millimeter accuracy to ensure full flexibility.
Choose from a range of combination options between electronics, process connections, rod types and rod lengths.
Other additional options for compact probes include: LightCAP for container illumination, the integrated PT100 for measuring the temperature of the medium and increased pressure resistance for probes.
Thanks to their wear-free electronics combined with high-quality material such as stainless steel, Teflon and Peek, CAPTRON fill level sensors are reliable, robust and long-lasting.
To choose the perfect measuring technology for your needs, speak to our CAPTRON experts: CAPTRON Service.

CALIS (Robust and suitable for railroads)
Non-contact, continuous level measurement in harsh environmental conditions
- Developed for sand level measurement in rail vehicles (heavy and light rail) and proven in long-term tests. As a flexible limit switch or for continuous level measurement.
- Complies with the current standards for use in rail (EN 50155, EN 50121, EN 45545 etc.)
- Configurable with IO-link communication for flexible use in harsh environments outside of rail applications
- No regular, manual checking of the sandboxes by the train driver required and refilling as required possible
- Level measurement without adjustment of the sensor to the material and container.
- Distance measurement with optical ToF measuring method
