always a reliable solution

Besta AG produces components in the field of level detection and control. The Trimod'Besta Level, Flow, Pressure and Temperature products are developed and produced in Uster - Switzerland. Its can be used for applications from -196°C to +400°C, from vacuum to 320 bar process pressure and low density applications.


Trimod Besta Level switches

Frequently used on off-shore rigs, in steam boilers and plants, power stations, chemical and petrochemical engineering, heating and refrigeration, i.e. airconditioning technology. Made possible by the 3-modular concept:

Optoelectronic Level Sensors

These robust and highly reliable level sensors use the optical principle. The opto-electronic sensor contains an infrared LED and a light receiver. It the liquid level rises in the container and surrounds the tip, the light beam is interrupted by the liquid and no longer reaches the receiver, or only reaches it weakly, causing the latter toreact to the change and to intiate a switching operation.

Used in plant engineering and the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, as well as in mechanical engineering, hydraulics and water technology for liquid such as oils, water, distrilled water, aqueous media, as well as for foam detection.

BLS Level Sensor

The BLS Trimod'Besta Level Sensor is universally suitable for level detection and a real alternative to the tuning fork. It works in liquids of all kind, foams, bulk goods, granulates, even in liquids that are sticky, pasty and regardless of their viscosity.

On-site calibration is not necessary and the highly accurate sensor can be installed in any position. It has a very attractive, compact design and is completely maintenance free.  Powered via an M12 connector it communicates its output status through a highly visible blue LED.

● One sensor detects different media (liquids, bulk goods, foams: sticky, pasty or high or low viscosity)
● Maximum temperature stability and repeat accuracy
● Resistant to shocks and vibrations
● Response time < 100 ms
● Fully integrated electronics
● Maintenance free
● Small and good looking design
● LED switching point indicator
● Factory setting for DK (Ɛ) > 2.5
