Switchover units provide continuous gas supply

Witt has revealed that its automatic switchover units ensure that manufacturers are able to switch between two gas mixers when connected to individual gas cylinders or bundles.

Food processors, shipbuilders, steel producers (where gas is used for the furnace treatment of steel), vehicle manufacturers and high volume fabricators are examples of manufacturing companies using large volumes of technical gases, who need to ensure that their gas supply is continuous.

Breaks in gas supply can lead to higher production costs through reduced quality and higher downtimes; Witt switchover units allow manufacturers to automatically switch from one gas mixer to another without a break in the supply, either in the case of a mixer malfunction or when the supply is getting low.

Each unit is programmed and adjusted to meet each customer's specific requirements including the integration of a chart recorder, gas analyser and alarm systems to warn the operator when to renew cylinders.

When using a combination of gas mixers, Witt recommends that users install an automatic switch over unit to maintain a continuous supply.
