Tailor-made solutions for level measurements in reactor vessels

Precision ball floats for highly corrosive media in the chemical industry

In this project, Häberle & Schwimmer GmbH implemented a customized solution for level measurement in a reactor vessel. The challenge was to develop a float capable of withstanding extreme thermal stresses and aggressive chemical media while simultaneously ensuring precise signal transmission for process automation.

Technical Implementation & Specifications: For the implementation, our experts relied on high-quality stainless steel (1.4404/1.4571). Thanks to our decades of experience in instrumentation engineering, we were able to manufacture a custom design that was precisely calibrated to the density of the liquid. Using state-of-the-art welding processes (TIG/plasma), absolute leak-tightness of the hollow float was guaranteed, which is essential for operational safety in chemical process engineering.

Project highlights:

• Custom design: Optimized cylindrical float to prevent deposits.
• Durability: High corrosion resistance thanks to specialized surface treatment (electropolishing).
• Precision: Precisely defined buoyancy for reliable switching thresholds in level control.
• Quality assurance: 100% inspection of welds and pressure resistance in accordance with current industry standards.

Thanks to this customized level measurement solution, the plant operator was able to significantly extend maintenance intervals and optimize the measurement accuracy of its level control system. Häberle thus remains your partner for demanding float assembly projects and innovative measurement technology.
