Four-in-one OilTankController from
Parker Hannifin
Parker Hannifin, the world's largest manufacturer of motion and control technology, has introduced an innovative monitoring system for use with hydraulic and lubricating oil tanks
Called the SensoControl OilTankController (SCOTC), the latest product is believed to be the first of its kind to offer multiple sensing and monitoring options in a single, compact device, which is quick and simple to install, use and maintain, and is available at a competitive cost To date, oil tank monitoring has generally required separate temperature, and level controllers, plus independent filler nozzles and air filters

Installing and maintaining individual units is both time consuming and relatively costly; additionally, multiple entry points and extra connections are required for each tank, with individual units also taking up considerable space on the side or top of the tank.
By comparison, the latest SCOTC combines temperature and level controllers with a standard filler coupling and a standard venting filter in a single, integrated device.
This requires just one DIN standard entry port to be made in the tank and can typically be fitted and connected in less time than that required for traditional units.
The SCOTC has a robust, aluminium construction, with the head unit integrating the venting filter, filler coupling and, depending on specification, either single or twin LCD displays; these can be configured on-site and also incorporate analogue output connections for remote control or monitoring.
In addition, the SCOTC has a built-in sensor probe and filling tube, with the latter featuring an anti-swirl device to prevent excess disturbance to the tank contents during refilling.
The pre-installed temperature, level or pressure sensors use proven technology and are reliable and accurate, producing consistent results under a wide range of operating conditions.
The SCOTC is characterised by its operational safety and reliability and is backed by the Parker worldwide network of manufacturing, service and customer support centres. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
