Background
A chemical manufacturing company faced challenges with their existing liquid level monitoring system, which frequently failed due to the corrosive nature of the chemicals used in their processes. They needed a more reliable and durable solution to ensure accurate level detection and maintain operational efficiency.
Solution Implementation
The company decided to implement the FMCX Multi-Level Switch from SMD Fluid Controls. Opting for the PVDF material due to its superior chemical resistance, they customized the switches to meet their specific tank dimensions and required float positions. Additionally, they integrated temperature sensors for comprehensive monitoring.
Benefits Realized
- Enhanced Durability: The PVDF construction provided exceptional resistance to the aggressive chemicals, significantly reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
- Improved Accuracy: Customizable float positions ensured precise level detection, which was critical for their complex chemical processes.
- Operational Efficiency: With reliable level monitoring, the company experienced fewer process interruptions, leading to improved overall productivity.
- Safety Compliance: The robust and accurate level detection contributed to maintaining safe operational conditions, crucial in handling hazardous materials.
Conclusion
The FMCX Multi-Level Switch proved to be an invaluable asset for the chemical manufacturing company. By tailoring the switch to their specific needs, they achieved greater reliability, efficiency, and safety in their operations. This case study highlights the importance of selecting and customizing the right equipment to meet industry-specific challenges.
