Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switch Manufacturer in Pune
A boiler that loses its water level isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s one of the most serious problems a plant can face, and it can develop quietly while everyone is busy with something else. That’s why boilers, and many other pressurised vessels, rely on a level switch that is simple, sealed and ready to act without being asked twice.
The HFLS-1600L from Levtron Instrument Pvt. Ltd. in Pune is built for exactly that kind of duty. It’s a side mounted magnetic float switch that fits horizontally into the wall of a tank or vessel, and it keeps the process liquid completely separate from the electrical switch compartment. High or low level, it gives a clear signal when the liquid gets there.
What Is a Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switch?
A side mounted magnetic float switch is a point level switch that fits into the side wall of a tank. A float on a pivoted arm moves up and down with the liquid, and a magnet on that arm acts through a solid non-magnetic wall to work an internal switch.
In the HFLS-1600L, the float magnet repels the magnet inside the switch compartment, and this snaps a microswitch. The process fluid never enters the switch housing. That glandless magnetic coupling is the reason the switch stays leak-proof, even on hot, pressurised vessels.
Why Choose Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switches From Levtron?
A switch on the side of a boiler or tank has to work for years without a second thought. Here’s what buyers tend to like about working with us:
- Glandless, leak-proof design: Magnetic coupling isolates the liquid from the electrical switch compartment, so there’s no seal to leak.
- High temperature and pressure: The HFLS-1600L works from -20°C up to +250°C and handles pressures up to 25 bar.
- Made in India and tested: Each switch is made in India and is 100% tested and calibrated before it reaches you.
- Catalogue and manual available: A product catalogue and user manual support selection and installation.
- Round-the-clock support: Our team provides remote support at any hour, so a question doesn’t wait until Monday.
Applications of Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switches
Any plant that holds liquid in a tank or vessel and needs a dependable high or low alarm can use this switch. Here are the common cases:
- Boiler water level: The switch gives high and low water alarms in steam boilers. It helps protect the boiler from running short of water or carrying over.
- Condensate tanks: Hot condensate tanks need a switch that handles heat without complaint. The stainless steel body and 250°C rating suit them well.
- Boiler feed tanks: Feed tanks must stay at the right level so the boiler is never starved. The switch controls the feed pump or raises an alarm.
- Fuel tanks: Diesel and fuel tanks need a level signal before they run low or overflow. A sealed switch keeps the fuel away from the electrics.
- Lube oil reservoirs: Machines depend on enough oil in their reservoirs. A low-level signal warns the team before bearings and gearboxes run short.
- Chemical process vessels: Pressurised chemical vessels need leak-proof level control. The magnetic coupling keeps aggressive liquid out of the switch compartment.
Wherever liquid sits under heat or pressure, a sealed side mounted switch gives a signal you can rely on.
Salient Features of Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switches
Here’s what you can expect from the Levtron HFLS-1600L:
- Magnetic repulsion switching: A magnet on the float arm repels an internal magnet through a solid wall to snap the microswitch. The action is crisp and there’s no direct link between liquid and contacts.
- Stainless steel wetted parts: The float and wetted body are made of SS316. That handles boiler water, oils, fuels, chemicals and condensate.
- Ready for hot, pressurised vessels: Temperature runs from -20°C to +250°C, and pressure goes up to 25 bar. This suits boilers and high-pressure tanks that ordinary switches can’t handle.
- Standard switch output: A 1 SPDT or DPDT microswitch rated 5A at 230V AC connects to pump starters, relays and alarm panels. No special interface is needed.
- Weatherproof or flameproof enclosure: The cast aluminium housing is rated IP66, with a flameproof Exd IIB+H2 or IIC T6 option. Flanged or threaded horizontal mounting is available.
All of this adds up to a switch that’s simple to fit and doesn’t need constant attention.
Benefits of Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switches
Here’s what changes once your vessel has a reliable side mounted float switch:
- Safer boilers and vessels: Dependable high and low alarms catch level problems early. That protects your equipment and your people.
- No leaks at the switch: The glandless design means no fluid escapes through a seal. That matters for hot water, fuel and chemicals.
- Automatic pump control: The switch can start and stop pumps as the level changes. Nobody has to watch the tank.
- Low maintenance: A simple float, magnet and microswitch have little to wear out. That means fewer shutdowns for repairs.
- Suits hazardous areas: The flameproof option allows use where flammable gases or vapours may be present. You get level switching without extra risk.
For most plants the biggest gain is simple: you stop worrying about level and let a sealed switch do the watching.
