Best for solid mediums like Sand, Powder, Ash, granules etc. as well as any liquids.
Installation will be from the bottom or, side wall of the storage tank, hopper or, silo Micro Switch operated having current rating of 5 or, 10 A 230 V AC
Note :To receive quick response, please provide your basic requirement details and max.Application information.
Robust Construction for Tough EnvironmentsBuilt with a die-cast aluminium enclosure and anti-corrosive, industrial-grade finish, this level switch stands up to harsh operating conditions. The EPDM or Neoprene boot material ensures compatibility with abrasive or corrosive media such as slurry, powder, or granules, maintaining performance over extended lifecycle and reducing maintenance demands.
Efficient and Reliable Level ControlThe diaphragm-actuated, micro switch snap-action mechanism offers quick, precise switching (100 ms), providing accurate level detection for silos, bins, and hoppers. The SPDT change-over contacts support both manual and automatic automation, streamlining integration into new or existing process control systems.
Versatile Mounting and Connection OptionsThese level switches accommodate diverse installation needs thanks to their flange (as per customer specifications) or threaded (G 1/G 1.5) process connections. Cable entries (PG13.5/3/4 NPT) and a compact design (800g1.5kg) allow easy fitment in various industrial setups, initiated by manufacturers or service providers in India.
FAQs of Boot Diaphragm type Level Switches:
Q: How does a Boot Diaphragm type Level Switch detect the material level in silos or hoppers?
A: The level switch uses a diaphragm actuated mechanism; when material like powder, slurry, or granules makes contact with the EPDM/Neoprene boot, it triggers the diaphragm. This actuates the internal micro switch (snap action), producing a change-over (SPDT) contact output, suitable for level indication or automatic control.
Q: What media compatibility does this level switch offer?
A: The design supports slurry, powder, and granular materials. The boot is made from EPDM or Neoprene, both of which are resistant to a range of chemical environments, making these switches highly compatible with abrasive or corrosive bulk materials handled in most industrial silos, bins, or hoppers.
Q: Where can these Boot Diaphragm Level Switches be installed?
A: These switches are ideal for installation in industrial silos, bins, and hoppers requiring robust level management. They feature versatile mounting optionsflange (customizable as per customer requirements) or threaded (G 1 or G 1.5) connections for seamless integration into various process vessels.
Q: What are the electrical and mechanical operating limits of the switch?
A: The switch can handle up to 250V AC and 5A current (at 230V AC). It offers a swift response time (100 ms), operates reliably within -10C to +60C, supports up to 5 kg/cm pressure, and boasts a mechanical life exceeding one million operations.
Q: How does the switching process benefit my automation or control system?
A: With SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) change-over contacts and low contact resistance (50 m), the switch provides reliable, precise control signals. It can be integrated for manual or automatic level control, maximizing process efficiency while minimizing the risk of spillage or downtime.
Q: What protection and durability features does the product provide?
A: Rated IP65, the switch resists dust and water ingress, and its die-cast aluminium construction along with an anti-corrosive industrial finish enhances its longevity in challenging environments. The design ensures consistent operation with minimal maintenance over a long service life.
