 Corrosion-resistant, 'all-plastic' level and flow switches

 
 
Kelco - All plastic level & flow switches.


PVL launches corrosion-resistant, 'all-plastic' level and flow switches

NEW to the UK, and exclusively available from Pressure Vacuum Level is a comprehensive and unique range of 'all-plastic' level and flow switches. Manufactured in either PVC or ABS plastic, and designed for controlling the level or flow of corrosive acids, alkaline fluids, sea water, or wherever a chemically inert switch is essential, the Kelco range includes in-line flow switches, paddle flow switches and level switches suitable for various pipe sizes and flow rates.

These innovative products, which are manufactured in Australia, are currently being used extensively throughout the world in the chemical and water treatment industries.

The range includes a compact in-line flow switch, designed to detect extremely low flows for chemical metering or dosing applications, a specialised pump flow switch that has an integral time delay to allow the pump to start in spite of an initial lack of flow and a run-on timer which allows the pump to ignore minor flow interruptions yet still protect the pump from running dry, two side entry level switches and an external modular switch system. Most models also have an external override toggle to test the switch operation before commissioning.

As well as applications in the chemical and water treatment industries, Kelco's 'all-plastic' level and flow switches have potential in many other sectors, for which additional specialised switches are available from PVL.

INCREASED PRODUCT RANGE FROM PVL.

New owner for Honsberg results in increased product range for PVL.

The recent acquisition of Honsberg Instruments, the German manufacturer of flow switches & flow-meters, by an investment company has resulted in a dramatically increased product range due to other companies within the group. GHM-Messtechnik GmbH now comprises Greisinger, Honsberg and Martens and PVL is pleased to announce that they have secured the UK Distributorship for all of their products.

Greisinger Electronic, founded in 1980, is a manufacturer of precision handheld instruments for industrial use for the measurement and logging of temperature, humidity, moisture, pressure, conductivity, flow and sound. They also manufacture specialised instruments for monitoring oxygen in water and air, carbon monoxide, pH and Redox. You can view their on-line Catalogue here

Martens Elektronik, founded in 1988 , are specialist manufacturers and suppliers of process instruments for flow, level, conductivity and turbidity and also supply a large range of panel meters, galvanic safety barriers as well as switching and monitoring relays. You can view their on-line Catalogue here

PVL (Pressure Vacuum Level) who have been a UK Distributor for Honsberg for more than fifteen years, are now in the process of adding these new products to their existing website at http://www.pvl.co.uk/ but due to the increased volume, engineers are invited to view the Greisinger and Martens on-line catalogues and then contact the PVL sales team for more information.

The switch, which has a miniature DIN plug, can be rotated by 180° so that a single device can be configured as required for normally open or normally closed operation. You can see more details of this and many other products at http://www.pvl.co.uk/level_switches.htm

HONSBERG HD2K FLOW SWITCH
Honsberg Model HD2K flow switch available from PVL Ltd
New viscosity-compensated flow switch

New viscosity-compensated flow switch
one of 28 new Honsberg products from PVL

Among 28 new Honsberg products recently added to the range of Honsberg switches, sensors and indicators available from Pressure Vacuum Level (http://www.pvl.co.uk/) is the Honsberg HD2K flow switch for oil or water-based applications in a wide variety of temperatures and viscosity conditions. This new switch has dramatically improved viscosity compensation of 30 - 300mm²/s and both wider settings (e.g. 1.5 to 15 l/min) and a wider indication range. New optional displays and switch heads are also available from PVL for installation with the HD2K.

The new switch is ruggedly constructed in brass or stainless steel and uses a spring-supported piston and magnetic triggering of a reed switch to achieve a high standard of repeatability. Mechanical and electrical components of the switch are hermetically separated and the HD2K is ATEX approved.

PVL now has Britain's largest range of Honsberg flow switches and sensors, and provides extensive advice and help with specification. PVL has been a UK distributor for the full Honsberg range for many years and works closely with the Honsberg design team to meet customers' needs, so has the resources OEM manufacturers need to get specifications and purchasing decisions right.

“For example, why pay £111.38 for a Honsberg RVM flow switch when PVL can supply it for £69.50?” asked Steve Moorey. It’s a good question.

Full details of the Honsberg range can be found at www.pvl.co.uk, or by phoning 01892 664499 for a free copy of the PVL catalogue, known in the trade as the Big Cat.
