Stainless Steel Float Switches

Float switches are used for point-level detection and are commonly used to control other devices such as alarms and pumps when a liquid level rises or falls to a specific point. APG’s Stainless Steel Float Switches are used in a variety of industries and applications including applications in food and beverage, water and wastewater, and chemical industries. APG’s Stainless Steel Float Switches feature NSF 169 approval making them a great selection for food and beverage applications. Below are examples of food and beverage industry applications APG’s Float Switches are used in.

A couple of weeks ago we released our new, side-mount, stainless steel float switches, the FS-500s. They are designed and built here at our facility in Logan, Utah for long-lasting dependability in tough environments. And because you, our customers, use float switches in a wide variety of places to monitor many different liquids, we designed the FS-500 to be tough enough and versatile enough to be the only go-anywhere, use-everywhere horizontal float switch you need.

Float switches are used across a variety of industries for flood risk reduction, but it’s important to choose the right level float switch. Depending on the application of the device, the float switch you choose can make a big difference.

Last fall, we introduced two new lines of float switches, the Series FS-400 Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch and the Series FS-410 Miniature Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch. With all stainless steel wetted materials, user-reversible logic function, and simple NPT and hex nut mounting, the FS-400 and FS-410 are versatile and reliable float switches. Now we are excited to announce that we have significantly expanded the capabilities of the switches. These new specs take the FS-400 and FS-410 from being two good float switches to being two of the best float switches.

Everybody is looking for an advantage. Business are constantly trying to get a leg up on their competitors on performance, quality, or reliability (or all three!). And it is often in the small things, the details, where these advantages can be won and lost. Float switches are, by nature, small things, but the right float switch can give you tremendous advantages. Take the FS-400 Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch, for instance. Compared to other float switches, the FS-400 has several advantages. Let’s take a look at three.

Many things in life come with trade-offs, often on a size-versus-functionality continuum. At one end, extreme size dictates reduced functionality; similarly, optimum functionality necessitates specific sizes. This works for vehicles—maximizing for speed or cargo requires size constraints—and it is often the case in level monitoring. However, level monitoring in tight spaces doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality. The new Series FS-410 Miniature Stainless Steel Vertical Float Switch is made to provide big performance in small spaces.
