The extraction and filling of liquid media
What do extraction and filling mean?
The extraction and filling of liquids in a container or tank are often complicated by limited space conditions, abrasive media or adverse conditions. Thanks to the combination of various sensors and technologies as well as the many years of experience in fluid management, Reed Electronics is always able to offer the right solution to meet every requirement.
In many applications, multiple extractions are required to simultaneously empty or fill a container in the smallest possible space conditions and without leaving residues in the container. In addition, a sensor should be used to prevent the container from being overfilled or drained completely. The Reed suction lance satisfies these requirements. Available in a standard or mini design, the suction lance can be used for the precise extraction and filling of fluids in the smallest containers and can be produced in line with your individual requirements and thus exclusively for you.

Examples of applications for the extraction and filling of liquid media
Dosing systems
In buildings or on industrial sites, canisters or containers for different fluids are often kept in underground storage rooms. To distribute these fluids internally, the fluids are extracted using suction lances and transferred to the desired location.
A sensor within the suction lance monitors the fill level and ensures that the pump does not run empty. The suction lances are particularly robust and resistant, making them suitable for use in abrasive media such as chlorine or amino acids, also known as formic acid.
Suction lances can be used to transfer the required fluids into the corresponding machines, providing a reliable solution for extracting and filling at times very abrasive media such as disinfectant. Integrated sensors monitor the processes in real time and prevent the fluids from overfilling or running dry.
To ensure proper disposal, these sometimes very abrasive media are extracted using suction lances and transferred into the disposal containers. The suction lances are available in different sizes and can be tailored to your requirements on request.
An integrated sensor continuously monitors extraction and fill levels to avoid overfilling.
In almost every application in which fill or limit levels are to be measured, fluids must also be taken away or added. Reed suction lances are the ideal choice in such cases as they combine both processes.

Dosing systems are used in the following sectors, for example
Chemical industry
The reliability of a dosing system usually depends on the manufacturer’s experience and whether suitable materials are used. In the chemical industry in particular, the suction lances used must be able to withstand extreme conditions. If they fail to operate, the costs can quickly add up. It’s therefore worthwhile to invest in the right technology and in an experienced manufacturer.
Biotech and laboratory technology
In the areas of biotech and laboratory technology, dosing systems need to be particularly robust because they are often exposed to a mixture of different chemicals. Owing to limited space in laboratory devices, suction lances must be small and compact. Reed Electronics offers a suitable solution for almost every container size.
