PVL supplies all the flanges, gaskets and fitting kits to make replacement of Solartron Mobrey level switches straightforward.
Pressure Vacuum Level has released level switches that provides a cost-effective replacement for Solartron Mobrey level switches.
PVL supplies all necessary flanges, gaskets and fitting kits to make replacement straightforward.
The Emco side-entry level switch uses a Type A mounting flange and has standard M20 x 1.5mm cable gland connections.
Manufactured from stainless steel, it is tested to 100bar pressure and can operate in liquids at 225C and ambient temperatures of up to 80C.
An Emco top-entry level switch with variable hysteresis adjustment is available for tanks up to 3m deep.
There is a video demonstration of its operation on the PVL website.
The lever carries a permanent magnet which is opposed by a similar magnet in the switch housing.
These magnets are separated by the mating flange of the level switch which offers excellent sealing.
Both the top and side-entry models have a choice of switching options, including SPDT with gold or silver contacts, Namur and pneumatic, the pneumatic being safe for hazardous environments.
Approvals include Det Norske Veritas, Lloyds Register of Shipping and Bureau Veritas.
PVL supplies a range of level switches, including remote housings, ATEX explosion-proof switches and continuous output level control units.
