Fluid sensors and level switches are used in a number of applications across industries to provide leak detection, overflow alarms, low-level warnings and even overfill shutoffs. In many of these cases, they are detrimental to operations and livelihood.
These sensors can be mounted on vessels in a number of different ways – top, side and back-mounted, for example, depending on a number of factors. When used, they provide an accurate measure of the contents inside. Applications like agricultural machines, fuel delivery systems, chemical processing, and so many others all make use of the sensors to operate safely and efficiently each day.
Sometimes though, basic won’t cut it. Standard sensors are great for so many reasons, yes. They help get the job done, offer protections and necessary advanced warnings -but what happens when you have a harsh environment, above-normal heat requirements or serious dangers present?
At Fluidswitch we offer OEM customized versions of standard sensors so they can do what you need them to for your application.

Safety Concerns
Depending on operating conditions and your specific application, you may require extra safety outside of the usual. In rugged applications or where discrete wiring and jackets on cables for volatile environments are necessary you may need a custom-designed sensor. Our team will work with you to make sure your demands are met.
-
Temperature Demands
For some applications, maintaining a certain temperature as well as the liquid level in the vessel is critical. Think about bottling consumer beverages or chemical processing plants where accurate temperature maintenance will make or break an outcome. Fluidswitch can integrate both of these capabilities into a single unit to help you save space and resources while achieving the correct outcomes.

Unique Batch Requirements
Another reason you may be wondering about customization for level sensors and float switches can relate to how large or small a job is. If you’ve taken on a load that’s not typical for your usual production numbers and you don’t want to over-order unnecessary resources, no matter the quantity, SMD Fluid Controls will work with you no matter the quantity – large and small and get you the parts you need.
