Anderson Negele flow switches provide reliable, hygienic monitoring of liquid flow to ensure correct process operation and protect equipment in sanitary production environments. These instruments detect issues such as closed valves, misdirected media, pump failures, or insufficient flow, enabling quick corrective action and increased plant safety.
Anderson Negele calorimetric flow switches are designed for food, beverage, dairy, and life science industries, offering stainless steel construction and compliance with 3 A and EHEDG sanitary standards.
The flagship sanitary model, the FTS Calorimetric Flow Switch, provides robust, hygienic performance with a simple 3 A compliant design that integrates seamlessly into sanitary piping.
Key Benefits
1.) Ensures Safe and Correct Process Operation
- Detects pump malfunction, closed valves, misdirected flow, or insufficient media movement and signals alarms for immediate response.Â
