Pump Protection

02.09.2003

Protection for pumps, heating elements and tanks plus control of cup dispensing and door interlocks on a wide range of food and beverage dispensing equipment is provided by liquid level, flow and position sensors from switching, sensing and control solutions specialist Gentech International.

Fully approved for potable water and food grade applications – or utilising approved materials – the Gentech range includes sensors in polypropylene, polysulphone, polyphenylene, Noryl, brass and stainless steel constructions suitable for hot, cold and carbonated drinks at temperatures up to 100ºC continuous.

Flow sensors, including flow switches and ultrasonic flow meters, protect dispenser pumps - sensing loss of liquid presence more quickly than conventional thermal/winding devices.

Liquid level sensors – including reed switch, float actuated and digital optical models - provide side, top or bottom tank entry options, monitoring or controlling tank liquid levels for low level safety/heating element protection and tank level empty/full shut off.

And Gentech PS Series position sensors are ideal for cup dispensing and positioning and door safety interlocks.
