yards and owners. Much of Bachofen’s product development and de-
sign has evolved from experience within the Marine Industry such as
fully submersible housings and captive terminal components. Trimod
Besta level switches are registered worldwide and include LRS, DNV
GL, ABS, BV, RINA and RMRS shipping approvals.
Power Generation
Extreme reliability is vital in some of the applications in Power

Plants. Shock and vibration resistant Trimod Besta level switches
are used for critical turbine trip duties on HP/LP Heater Plants. The
Quality Management System ISO 9001 and production on CNC ma-
chines assure the highest product standard.
Chemical- & Petrochemical Industry
In the Chemical- and Petrochemical Industry Trimod Besta’s modular

design can solve many special application problems which may re-
quire high pressure, high temperature and corrosion resistant com-
ponents. For measurement and control of highly aggressive or high
purity media we offer a complete program of plastic switches.

The unique modular level switch system
What you need ...
Trimod Besta’s modular design is a unique deviation from conventional level

switch construction. This modular system allows individual and numerous
combinations of float, flange and switch modules to suit your specific
requirements. Switch modules are available with electric, electronic or
pneumatic output signals. Switch housings are standard to IP65 enclosure, but
GHSHQGLQJRQHQYLURQPHQWDOFRQGLWLRQV,3,3RU,3PXVWEHFKRVHQ)RU
hazardous areas, hermetically sealed microswitches, flameproof housings or
pneumatic switch modules can be used.
LVTXLFNO\LQVWDOOHG
Trimod Besta flange modules are available in various standards. The Industrial
and Plastic Flange ranges are manufactured according to international standards
such as EN/DIN, ANSI, BS or JIS. The benefit of the hinged cover, the captive
screws and the selflifting terminal clamps is an easy installation. For conve-
nience of wiring, the connection diagram is shown on the inside of the hinged
lid. The interchangeability of the single modules allows high flexibility regarding
maintenance or changing application requirements.
... and lasts forever.
So far, hundreds of thousands of Trimod Besta level switches are on duty

world-wide. The float movement caused by the rise and fall of the liquid level is
transmitted by two repelling, permanent AINiCo magnets. The sturdy design and
the double snap effect as a result of the magnetic repulsion and the snap action
of the microswitch guarantee a virtually unlimited lifetime. The float modules, like
all wetted parts, are made of stainless steel, Hastelloy C or high quality plastics.
A wide range of floats is available to suit various viscosity-, temperature- and
pressure ranges for almost any process condition.

Float chambers
Wherever it is not possible or desirable to install float switches directly onto a

vessel, horizontal Trimod Besta level switches can be mounted externally in a
float chamber. This type of installation allows functional checks and servicing to
be carried out without interrupting operation, provided that isolation and drain
valves are included in the process connections.
Float chambers may be divided into 2 groups.
