The level best from Burkert
The level best from BurkertKeywords: Burkert, Fluids
Burkert Fluid Control Systems has extended its range of on/off level switches with the new Type 8181 buoyancy level switches. The whole range of on/off level switches can be used in a wide variety of applications – from food processing to paper and pulp, chemical and pharmaceutical to agriculture. Virtually anywhere that liquids are stored and used there can be a demand for level control – simple level control, switching filling on and off, minimum and maximum level monitoring, leak detection, pump protection and overfill protection.
This new range of switches comes in both stainless steel and polypropylene and in both horizontal and vertical versions according to requirements. Burkert offers a version with relay and one with relay and AS-interface. The relay option enables the valve to be switched directly using EasyLink and the Asi connection ensures integration with higher levels of communication networks such as EasyNet.
An LED display unit at the junction box clearly indicates the status of the switch, offering easy, visual function control over the device.
The vertical and horizontal buoyancy level switches can be used in conjunction with each other and also a wide range of other level monitoring products from Burkert.
The addition of the polypropylene and stainless steel Type 8181 enables Burkert to offer a comprehensive range of level devices, which include their ultrasonic level transmitter and pressure transmitter for neutral or problematic fluids.
