Overview: Galvatek’s MTSu/MTSt float switches provide a simple, robust and economical solution for regulating and monitoring liquid levels in industrial tanks and vessels. Based on the movement of a magnetic float, these devices are intended for use in liquids with a low risk of fouling. Multiple configurations are available, including up to four changeover contacts and an optional integrated temperature probe.
Operating principle:
- Movement of a magnetic float actuates a reed contact within the float guide rod.
Available configurations:
- 1, 2, 3 or 4 changeover contacts.
- Optional integrated Pt100 temperature sensor (available on plastic models with up to 3 contacts).
Materials:
- Resistant plastics: polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for corrosive environments.
- Stainless steel: grade 1.4571 / AISI 316 Ti for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Protection:
- PG version: IP64 (protection against water splashes).
- LC and LC-L versions: IP65 (protection against water jets).
Maximum operating temperature:
- Plastic: 80°C (PP), 100°C (PVDF).
- Stainless steel: 100°C.
Nominal length: up to 3000 mm.
Key benefits:
- Versatility: detects up to four levels with adjustable configurations.
- Material options suitable for a wide range of liquids, including corrosive media.
- Easy installation: mounting by brackets or threaded options.
- Extended functionality: optional integrated temperature sensors for combined level and temperature monitoring.
- Reliable operation for long-term industrial use.
Main applications:
- Chemical industry: level monitoring in clean, low-viscosity solutions.
- Water treatment: regulation in storage and process tanks.
- Food industry: processes requiring precision and hygiene.
- General industrial applications: economical solution for clean liquids with low deposits.
Safety and compliance:
- Protection ratings: IP64 (PG) and IP65 (LC, LC-L).
- Anti-corrosion design using suitable materials for chemical and thermal conditions.
- Process safety: helps prevent overflow and protects equipment such as pumps and heaters.
