Cooling monitoring for Casting Machines

Task

Provide a proportional electrical output with visual indication of flow

The application is cooling water on casting machines with 96 channels. The casting machines are used to produce engine and steering parts, and are installed all over the world; Turkey, Germany, China, USA, Outer Mongolia, and Korea. The original machines used a turbine flow sensor and separate flow indicator. The customer requested a change due to dirty water clogging the orifice of the turbine sensors.

Solution

KOBOLD model DF series with an analogue output and clear paddlewheel cover. The reason for the DF is the ability to easily pass suspended solids and not clog and to function as a sight gauge. The DF passed with flying colours. The DF sensor casting manufacturer was able to eliminate both the turbine sensor and flow indicator with one sensor. The DF works well and has become the standard for the customer. The casting method used in this process is considered the best and most productive casting system available.

The DF paddle wheel flow sensor is a reliable and economical solution for monitoring flow of water like media where an output and visual indication is needed!
