Float Level Switches

A classic and reliable solution for liquid management. ORFA Industrial float level switches are the ideal automation component to prevent overflow or dry running risks in reservoirs and tanks, thanks to their simple yet effective working principle.

Precise Level Detection and Automatic Control

Float level switches are high-precision devices that convert mechanical motion into an electrical signal by utilizing the buoyancy force of the fluid. In industrial facilities, float level switches ensure system safety by minimizing error margins in processes such as starting or stopping pumps or triggering audible/visual alarms at critical levels.

Technical Specifications of Float Level Switches

• • Material Variety: Float level switches offer stainless steel (AISI 316) for aggressive liquids, and plastic or brass options for standard applications.
• • Easy Installation: With different body designs offering horizontal or vertical mounting options, they adapt to all types of tanks.
• • High Reliability: Thanks to the magnetic operating principle, they provide frictionless, wear-free, and long-lasting performance.
• • Maintenance-Free Design: Due to the simplicity of moving parts, they ensure stable operation even under the most demanding conditions.

Application Areas of Float Level Switches

With a wide range of uses, float level switches increase efficiency particularly in the following areas:

• • Water reservoirs, condensate tanks, and booster systems
• • Wastewater and drainage pit level monitoring
• • Tanks in the food, chemical, and shipbuilding industries
• • The use of float level switches is essential in fuel and lubricating oil units.
