FLUID IO Mechanical tank level indicator

The tank level indicator is a mechanically actuated indication operating "on the spot”. It permits a high degree of safety and flexibility thanks to separate points of measurement and indication.  

Its simple operating principle is impressive, requiring no energy supply and ensuring a high operational safety. The tank level indicator can be operated in extremely varying conditions and is also suitable if there is not much space above the tank.

It may be used with tanks for water-endangering, non-flammable liquids for which no bottom or side panel fillers are permitted. Aggressive, highly viscous or polluted media can be monitored with the tank level indicator. In addition, the system can be adapted to liquids with different specific gravities. The tank level indicator consists of a float which is connected to the counterweight by a flexible rope. The counterweight is made of PVC and designed as a hollow body. It can be additionally loaded to permit adaptation to various media. Rope and float are guided in a PVC piping system which is hermetically sealed from the surroundings. To reduce friction, the rope is guided via pulleys in angular reversing brackets.
