The Liquidator2 tank level indicator uses an external guide tube to hold the level indicator in place. The indicator slides up and down on the outside of the tube and the counterweight moves on the inside of the tube. The counterweight action ensures that the level indicator and the liquid level in the tank are at the same level. Only the float is in contact with the liquid in the tank. The kit is supplied fully assembled, ready to be installed on top of your tank. The Guide Pipe must be purchased separately and cut to length. The Liquidator2 Can be installed regardless of whether the tank is full or empty. The following guide tubes can be used: 2” round plastic or galvansed steel. Actual Outer Dimension = 60.3 (2 3/8”) with a wall thickness to 2mm(0.10”) 2” Square galansed steel or aluminum tube with a wall thickness to 2mm(0.10”. (50mm sq. tube will also fit)
Features:
-
Can be used for liquids other than water – fertilizer, waste, molasses, acids, wine, chemicals, oils ect*
-
Insect Proof – dust and weatherproof.
-
Easy to install with simple tools – only small hole required in tank roof.
-
True reading - Whether water or chemicals, the true-reading Liquidator2 eliminates possibility of confusion by employees. What you see is what you have. Graduations can be marked on or beside the guide tube for accurate measurement
-
Exposed sites -"Captive" on the guide tube, the die cast aluminum indicator isn't bothered by wind or other disturbances
-
Industrial tanks - Ideal for fire protection water storage tanks. Stainless steel wire and bass pullies are available as an optional alternative to polyester cord and acetal pullies
-
Standard kit for tanks to 3m - Easy to modify to any tank height (Maximum 9 meters)
-
Fire resistant option available - Stainless steel wire and brass pulleys
-
Optional 316 stainless steel floats for chemical tanks.
How does it work?
The weighted float and indicator are connected by a cord running over pulleys to the counterweight concealed within the vertical guide pipe. If the liquid level rises so does the float, the counter weight moves down causing the level indicator sliding on the outside of the pipe to move up in line with the liquid in the tank. If the liquid level falls, the inverse occurs, keeping the level indicator in line with the level in the tank.
*Chemicals
Liquidator2 can be used on chemical tanks, but the onus is on the installer to make sure there is no adverse effects on the parts exposed to the chemical. The only part in direct contact with the liquid is the polypropylene (or optional 316 stainless steel) float. However splashing, fumes or vapours may affect the polyethylene cord attaching fittings and the polyester cord inside the tank (Optional stainless steel or Polyethylene cords are available). Parts outside the tank may also be affected by chemical fumes. For some chemicals it may not be advisable for the float to be filled with water. Other liquids or granular material may be used that will not retract with the chemical. The gross weight of the float and its contents should be 550g approximately for use in water. If the specific Gravity is less than 1, the buoyancy will be less and the float should be lighter. (Example for a SG of 0.8 the float weight should be about 500g). For denser liquids the float will may have to be heavier.
