The retractable level transmitter measures the liquid level in tanks and containers in the sugar, paper and chemical industries. The integrated ball valve allows easy removal and maintenance.
The FKP gauge pressure transmitter and the FKD differential pressure transmtitter ranges of high-precision, load-extractable level sensors measure the liquid level accurately and transmit a proportional 4-20 mA electrical output signal. The level sensor with integrated ball valve is available as a diaphragm seal flanged version
The retractable hydrostatic level sensor features a unique design for outstanding measuring performance in terms of accuracy and stability.
The retractable liquid level sensor is based on the technology of hydrostatic level measurement by gauge pressure or differential pressure technology.
It consists of a level transmitter and a ball valve, which makes it easy to dismantle.
The design of the diaphragm seal with flush diaphragm avoids the risk of clogging and reduces maintenance.
Fuji Electric's diaphragm seal diaphragm sensor retractable prevents production stoppages.
Thanks to its integrated ball valve, it becomes possible to isolate, under load, the level sensor and the fluid measured on the process.
The level sensor can thus be removed without emptying the tank.
This means that cleaning, maintenance, sensor calibration or instrument replacement can be carried out at any time without stopping the manufacturing process.
This unique combination consists of a flush diaphragm level sensor and a special ball valve.
It ensures accurate measurement while allowing the process to continue without loss of production, thus increasing equipment availability.
In some industries, such as food processing (sugar mills, breweries...), chemicals, wastewater, shipbuilding and paper and cardboard, the industrial process requires storage tanks to keep liquids or pressure tanks for manufacturing processes.
In order to optimize the processes and to follow the production costs, knowing the liquid level measurement contained in the tank or reservoir is an essential parameter to define the supply or discharge phases of the tank.
In these conditions, the liquid level measurement must be accurate and reliable.
In addition, the measured liquids can be aggressive, adhesive, crystallizing, corrosive or viscous.
Flush diaphragm seal pressure transmitters are commonly used to measure the level in storage tanks.
The diaphragm brushes the surface of the tank to avoid clogging of the measured liquid.
To ensure accurate and reliable measurement, level sensors must be periodically removed for cleaning, inspection and calibration.
Traditionally, this maintenance represents a major inconvenience: the tanks must be taken out of service and their contents removed.
Checking the accuracy of one's level measurement instrument would therefore mean a production stoppage and associated financial losses.
Ball valve level probes are the ideal solution for those industries whose raw material or liquid storage tanks cannot be emptied.
These transmitters guarantee the accuracy of your level measurement without stopping production.
