OEM Float Switches for Custom Applications

Standard float switches quickly reach their limits in many industrial applications. Different tank geometries, specialized media, high temperatures, or unique installation scenarios require customized solutions.

As an experienced manufacturer, Binsack Reedtechnik develops and manufactures custom OEM float switches for industrial applications. From the initial concept through development to series production, we support our customers in implementing reliable level-sensing solutions.

Our float switches are used in a variety of industries, including medical technology, water treatment, dosing technology, automotive engineering, and mechanical and plant engineering.

What is an OEM float switch?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. An OEM float switch is specifically designed to meet a manufacturer’s requirements and is then integrated as a component of a product or system. Unlike standard components, OEM solutions are precisely tailored to the application.

Typical adjustments:

# Custom Switching Points
# Different Connection Types
# Chemical-Resistant Materials
# Temperature-Resistant Versions
# Multiple Switching Points
# Custom Cable Assemblies

This results in a solution that is optimally tailored to the specific application.

Why Use Custom Float Switches?

Industrial plants and technical systems differ significantly in terms of:

- Tank sizes
- Media
- Temperature ranges
- Pressure conditions
- Safety requirements

Off-the-shelf products can often only partially meet these requirements.

Advantages of a customized solution:

Maximum Operational Reliability

By precisely tailoring the solution to the application, malfunctions are minimized and downtime is reduced

Optimized Integration

The sensor fits perfectly into existing designs and reduces installation effort.

Longer service life

Materials and components are specifically tailored to the respective operating conditions.

Lower total costs

Despite higher development costs, OEM solutions can be more cost-effective in the long run than standard products.

Customized development tailored to your needs

Every application begins with a technical analysis.
In this analysis, we consider:
- Medium
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Tank geometry
- Installation conditions
- Switching function
- Electrical requirements

Based on this, we develop a float switch that is precisely tailored to the requirements. Samples and prototypes can be produced as early as the development phase to test functionality and integration.

Materials for Demanding Applications

The selection of suitable materials is crucial to the sensor's service life. Depending on the application, the following materials, among others, are used:

- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyamide (PA)
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Stainless steel

These materials offer high resistance to numerous chemicals and process media.

Typical areas of application

Dosing Systems

Monitoring of chemical containers and empty reports.

Water Treatment

Level monitoring in tanks, containers, and process systems.

Mechanical engineering

Coolant Monitoring and Process Control.

Medical technology

Monitoring of liquid levels in analysis and dosing systems.

Automotive Engineering

Level monitoring of operating fluids and auxiliary media.

From Prototype to Mass Production

We support our customers throughout the entire product life cycle.

- Consulting
- Development
- Design
- Prototyping
- Sample Production
- Mass Production
- Long-Term Supply Capability

This provides customers with a reliable development partner for sophisticated sensor solutions.

Quality and Reliability

In industrial applications, downtime can result in high costs.

That is why reliability, consistent quality, and long-term availability are at the heart of our development efforts.

Our solutions are specifically designed for long-term industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can float switches be custom-designed?
Yes. Switching points, materials, installation lengths, and connections can be customized to suit the application.
Which media can be monitored?
Depending on the choice of material, the sensors are suitable for water, chemicals, oils, and numerous other liquids.
Are small production runs possible?
Yes. Prototypes and small production runs can be produced even during the development phase.
Do you provide support for development?
Yes. We support projects from the initial idea through to mass production.
What is the process for a technical inquiry regarding float switches?
A technical inquiry should ideally begin with the key details regarding the application. These include product type, medium, temperature, installation conditions, desired function, switching point, electrical specifications, cable length, connection type, quantity, project status, and any available drawings or photos. A defective sample part, an old data sheet, or a simple sketch can also be helpful for the technical review.

Once the inquiry is received, we assess which design is technically appropriate: a standard switch, a customized version, or a custom solution tailored to the customer’s needs. The goal is to provide a robust, reliable, and cost-effective solution for the specific application—whether for municipal water treatment, special-purpose associations, industrial environmental technology, plant engineering, or OEM series production.
