Trimod’Besta Level Switches, Level Transmitters & Float Switches in Saudi Arabia

Accurate liquid-level monitoring is essential for safe and efficient operation of tanks, vessels, process equipment, pumps and industrial systems. Reliable level detection can help prevent overfilling, protect equipment against low-liquid conditions and provide important signals for process control.

Trimod’Besta develops level measurement and level-switching solutions for demanding industrial applications. Its product range includes modular level switches, float switches, level transmitters and related level measurement solutions for industrial, marine, chemical, water and other process applications.

Sahmas provides Trimod’Besta level measurement solutions for industrial applications across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail and Jeddah.

Trimod’Besta Level Switches

Trimod’Besta level switches are designed for reliable point-level detection in tanks and process vessels.

The manufacturer's three-module concept allows the switch module, flange module and float module to be selected and combined according to the application. This modular construction provides flexibility when process requirements, installation conditions or maintenance requirements change.

The range includes:

• Standard level switches

• Industrial level switches

• Plastic-range level switches

• Special-range level switches

• Explosion-proof level switches

• Electric level switches

• Electronic level switches

• Pneumatic level switches

Different switch configurations can be used for applications such as high-level alarms, low-level alarms and two-point level control.

How Trimod’Besta Float Level Switches Work

The operation is based on the movement of a float as the liquid level rises or falls.

The movement of the float is transferred through a magnetic mechanism to the switching element, allowing the level switch to change its output when the defined switching point is reached. Trimod’Besta describes its magnetic repulsion and snap-action mechanism as providing reliable switching operation and long service life.

This makes float-based level switches suitable for applications where dependable point-level detection is required.

Flexible Modular Design

A major feature of Trimod’Besta level switches is their modular design.

The system can combine:

• Float modules

• Flange modules

• Electric switch modules

• Electronic switch modules

• Pneumatic switch modules

The manufacturer offers different float materials, flange configurations, switch elements and enclosure options to accommodate different process conditions.

This approach can simplify adaptation of the level switch to specific tank and process requirements.

Standard Trimod’Besta Level Switches

The standard range is designed for a variety of general industrial level-monitoring requirements.

Available configurations include microswitches and proximity switches, SPDT and 2 × SPDT switching arrangements, different enclosure options and high- or low-temperature versions.

The standard range also includes float options made from stainless steel, Hastelloy and other materials depending on the application.

Applications include:

• Shipbuilding

• Refrigeration

• Chemical engineering

• Food processing

• Pulp and paper

• Drinking-water supply

• Sewage treatment

Level Switches for Aggressive or Contaminated Liquids

Industrial liquids can contain contaminants, crystallizing substances or chemically aggressive components.

Trimod’Besta offers configurations designed for such conditions. Certain models use bellows to help prevent the float mechanism from becoming jammed by the process medium. Different bellows materials are available for particular temperature and chemical conditions.

For aggressive environments, stainless-steel housing options are also available.

The appropriate wetted materials should always be selected according to the actual process medium and operating conditions.

High- and Low-Temperature Applications

Trimod’Besta level switches are available in configurations for demanding temperature conditions.

Depending on the selected model, the manufacturer provides versions for different operating-temperature ranges, including special configurations for higher-temperature applications. The standard range includes models with operating temperatures extending to 300°C, while other configurations are available for specific requirements.

For extremely demanding applications, the correct float, wetted material, housing and switching configuration must be selected according to the process specifications.

Explosion-Proof Level Switches

For hazardous industrial environments, Trimod’Besta offers explosion-proof level-switch configurations.

The manufacturer lists both hermetically sealed and intrinsically safe versions, with options including electric switch modules and proximity switches for intrinsically safe circuits. Certain configurations carry ATEX and IECEx approvals, depending on the selected switch module.

These solutions can be considered for applications where level detection is required in hazardous areas.

The exact hazardous-area classification, protection method and approval must be verified against the specific product configuration and installation requirements.

Float Switches

Trimod’Besta also offers universal float switches for liquid-level detection.

Float switches can trigger switching commands at predefined liquid levels. They can therefore be used to:

• Control filling pumps

• Control emptying pumps

• Trigger high- or low-level alarms

• Monitor liquid levels

• Provide level-based switching signals

The manufacturer's float-switch range can be supplied with one, two or three switching contacts, allowing monitoring of multiple defined levels.

The float switches use a sealed float construction and are available with different electrical connection options and materials depending on the model.

Level Transmitters

In addition to point-level switches, the Trimod’Besta product portfolio includes level transmitters and complementary level-measurement solutions.

Level switches are generally used when a process requires a switching action at a defined level, while continuous level transmitters are used when the actual liquid level needs to be measured and transmitted to another system.

The appropriate technology depends on the process, tank geometry, measurement range and required output.

Integration with Industrial Control Systems

Level measurement becomes even more useful when connected to an industrial automation system.

Depending on the selected configuration, Trimod’Besta level switches can provide electrical, electronic or pneumatic outputs.

These signals can be incorporated into applications involving:

• PLC systems

• SCADA systems

• DCS systems

• Pump control

• Alarm systems

• Safety interlocks

• Process automation

The exact electrical interface, switching element and communication architecture should be selected according to the control-system requirements.

Marine and Offshore Applications

Trimod’Besta level switches have a significant presence in marine applications, and the manufacturer lists approvals from organizations including ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register, RINA and ClassNK for relevant configurations.

Applications can include:

• Marine tanks

• Engine-room systems

• Bilge applications

• Shipbuilding

• Offshore equipment

• Marine process systems

The manufacturer also offers dedicated bilge and marine-related level solutions within its product portfolio.
