We endeavour to design equipment that is simple to use and reliable in its operation, with the aim of satisfying our customers’ needs. Milltronics has been designing and manufacturing process equipment since 1954. Our fields of expertise include ultrasonic and capacitance level measurement in-line weighing of dry bulk solids and motion sensing.
ABOUT THE TRANSDUCER transducer The ST-100 series of transducers operates in association with Milltronics ultrasonic level monitoring products. transducer The transducer converts the electrical energy of face the transmit pulse from the transceiver into acoustical energy. It then converts the acoustical –3 db...

MOUNTING DO’S AND DON’TS VERY IMPORTANT Mount the transducer so that it is above the maximum material level by at least the blanking value. Refer to the associated transceiver manual. Do not overtighten mounting. Hand tightening of the mounting hardware is sufficient. On liquid applications, the transducer must be mounted so that the axis of transmission is perpendicular to the liquid surface.

APPLICATIONS LIQUID APPLICATIONS - STANDPIPES In many applications access must be made via a standpipe. In such cases, Milltronics can provide flange mounted transducers that will readily mate to the flanged standpipe. Another option is to hang the transducer from a blind flange.
