The company arntec was looking for a precise solution for monitoring the level of ethanol in a sight glass. The aim was to use hollow polypropylene spheres with a diameter of 15 mm that are both airtight and opaque.

Problem

arntec required hollow polypropylene spheres that fit into a sight glass with a diameter of 16 mm and can monitor the liquid level of ethanol. The spheres had to be buoyant and reliably trigger a light barrier as soon as the level in the sight glass dropped.

Solution

The 15 mm hollow polypropylene balls in red offered the perfect solution. They are made of high-quality material, are airtight and opaque. The balls fit precisely into the sight glass, float on the ethanol and interrupt the light barrier when the liquid level drops.

Benefits

  • High-Quality Materials: The balls are made of robust and durable polypropylene, making them suitable for demanding applications.
  • Wide assortment: EURO-MATIC offers a wide range of balls in different sizes, colours and materials, enabling tailor-made solutions for almost any application.
  • Precise functionality: The balls are specially designed to ensure reliable and precise level monitoring.

Results

The hollow polypropylene spheres used met all requirements. They are airtight, opaque and float reliably on ethanol. In addition, they fit exactly into the sight glass and enabled the light barrier to be triggered precisely when the liquid level dropped.

Conclusion

The project demonstrates the versatility and precision of EURO-MATIC plastic balls. The combination of high-quality materials and a comprehensive product range made it possible to develop a tailor-made solution for level monitoring. This example underlines the high quality and reliability of the products for industrial applications.

I am very, very happy with the PP balls. I have attached a picture of my self-made minimum quantity lubrication container, which is filled with ethanol. Your ball monitors the fill level by interrupting the light barrier when the fill level drops. For your information: PP solid balls sink in ethanol, your hollow balls float!
