Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the selection and application of level meters, specifically Liquid Level Switches and Magnetic Level Indicators, in grain oil production. It highlights the importance of these instruments in maintaining the quality and efficiency of the production process.

Application of Liquid Level Switches
In grain oil production, processes such as deacidification, degumming, decoloring, and deodorization are crucial. The document outlines the use of Fork Liquid Level Switches and Magnetic Level Indicators in these processes. Fork Liquid Level Switches are used to control liquid levels and pump operations, while Magnetic Level Indicators are used for storage tanks.

Selection Criteria for Oil Level Switches
The selection of appropriate level meters is critical due to the complex working conditions in grain oil production, such as high temperatures (up to 250ºC), high pressure, and the flammable nature of grain oil. The document emphasizes the need for instruments with high temperature resistance, pressure durability, explosion-proof certification, and redundancy for material buildup.

Case Study: Shantou Edible Oil Company
A case study is presented where a company in Shantou adopted a new Swedish process requiring high-quality measuring instruments. The Jiwei Ring-11 Fork Liquid Level Switch and Flap-11 Magnetic Level Indicator were chosen for their excellent quality and cost-effectiveness.

Features of Jiwei Ring-11 Fork Liquid Level Switch
  • High temperature endurance up to 250ºC.
  • Detects changes in vibrating frequency for reliable measurement.
  • Compact design suitable for various applications.
  • Strong disturbance resistance and flameproof enclosure.
  • Ingress protection rating of IP66/IP67.

Comparison with Other Products
The document provides a comparison table showing the superior performance of Jiwei's products in terms of measurable medium density, medium temperature, explosion protection, ingress protection, disturbance resistance, and cost-effectiveness.

Advantages of Jiwei Flap-11 Magnetic Level Indicator
  • Broader display panel for increased visual distance and viewing angle.
  • Certified accessories for flameproof and intrinsic safety.
  • Higher ingress protection rating.
  • Made of 316L stainless steel for corrosive liquids.

Conclusion
Jiwei's level meters are praised for their quality and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for grain oil production and other industries.

Selection of Level Meters for Application in Grain Oil Production-1

Selection of Level Meters for Application in Grain Oil Production In recent years, with continuous improvement of production automation and optimization in China, output of grain oil production keeps increasing and its quality has improved significantly. Grain oil manufacturers also demand higher quality level measurement equipment, such as Liquid Level Switches and Magnetic Level Indicators. In order to help users better select the most suitable level measuring instrument for grain oil production, we are going to introduce how to select and apply Liquid Level Switches in grain oil production process in this article. Liquid Level Switch 1. Application of oil level measuring instruments such as Liquid Level Switches in grain oil production To meet edible oil quality standard, oil production must undergo multiple refining processes such as deacidification, degumming, decoloring, and deodorization etc. Generally there are two methods to produce edible oil at present: pressing method and leaching method. Below is the flow chart for edible oil production process:

Safety in production process is very important. Users usually select measuring instruments very carefully. The working conditions in grain oil production process are quite complicated. For example, material temperature in some steps is very high, about 250ºC; There is higher pressure in some storage tanks; some materials are with high viscosity; and grain oil is flammable, etc. Therefore, higher technical requirements are placed to the level meters: (1)With high temperature resistance, can work reliably at 250ºC process temperatures. ( 2 ) With high pressure durability, high temperature working...
