Many companies choose to use a bubbler system to control and display the liquid level
in Slurry Tanks. Bubbler systems rely on clean-dry air and a pneumatic controller or
regulator to reduce the incoming air to usable pressures. The controller must provide
consistent output to the system so that any change in pressure will indicate a difference
in the tank level.
In mining applications, where Hematite concentrates are processed
into Iron Ore Pellets for use with blast furnaces, the
requirements for instruments to control the pressure are stringent.
The device must be durable, reliable, and contain the
correct components to reduce fire or explosion risk.
The main purpose of a pneumatic controller is to use clean-dry
air or gas to help regulate pressure, flow, level, or differential
pressure and to keep it within required set limits. Pneumatic
Controllers can automatically position a valve or other final
control element to maintain process pressure at the desired
set point. These devices are relatively uncomplicated but are
an essential device when electronics might not be an option.
U.S. Gauge Solution:
Our AMETEK PMT Model 40 Pneumatic Controller
is a trusted solution for many companies due to its
durability and long-lasting design. The Model 40
provides trusted pressure control to the 24-hour,
365-day per year work requirements of this rugged
environment. The pneumatic parts are proven
to last, require less maintenance, and because the
components do not overheat when overloaded,
they are less of a fire hazard. Our pneumatic system
is also relatively inexpensive, making the initial outlay
very cost-effective.
The AMETEK PMT Model 40 Pneumatic Controller can meet almost all
type of control situations with its broad selection of control modes;
proportional, proportional plus reset, proportional plus reset plus rate,
differential gap and two position bypass. It offers a wide selection of
process measuring elements for pressure, differential pressure, flow, and
level, with ranges available from five inches of water column to 3000 psi.
It also meets EPA NSPS OOOO (Quad-O) for bleed rate less than 6.0 scfh.
Available Outputs vary from 3-15, 3-27, 6-30, and 12-60 psi. It is available
in automatic and manual switch options and contains pre-calibrated elements
for quick field changes. Made in the USA, with over 50 years of
industry acceptance, the AMETEK PMT Model 40 continues to provide
reliable, rugged, in-field pressure control.
