Reliable Solid Level DetectionThe Rotating Paddle type Level Switch uses a stainless steel paddle to detect the level of powders and bulk solids. It delivers stable, accurate measurements, ensuring consistent process control and avoiding overflow or empty-hopper situations. With options for micro switch or relay outputs, facilities benefit from swift integration into their existing electrical systems.
Customizable Design for Versatile ApplicationsAvailable with shaft lengths of 150mm, 250mm, or 500mm, and with top or side mounting choices, this switch adapts to diverse tank or silo designs. Its die-cast aluminum enclosure and powder-coated finish guarantee durability, even in challenging industrial environments.
Efficient Automation and SafetyWith an automatic operation grade, IP65 protection, and rapid response time under 1 second, the level switch supports secure automation, preventing equipment failure or product loss. Its mechanical life extends to ten million operations, making it a reliable long-term investment for powder and bulk solid management.
FAQs of Rotating Paddle type Level Switch:
Q: How does the Rotating Paddle type Level Switch detect solid levels in bulk silos?
A: This switch uses a stainless steel paddle that rotates inside the vessel. When the paddle encounters solid material, it stops rotating, triggering the micro switch or relay output to signal the presence of material at that level.
Q: What customization options are available for the shaft length and mounting type?
A: You can choose the shaft length from standard options of 150mm, 250mm, or 500mm to fit your application. Mounting is flexible as welleither top or side mountingto suit your vessel design and process requirements.
Q: Where can the Rotating Paddle Level Switch be used effectively?
A: This device is ideal for solid level detection in tanks, hoppers, or silos storing powder or bulk solids. It is used across process industries such as chemicals, cement, food, and pharmaceuticals, where stable level control is essential.
Q: What benefits does the micro switch or relay output provide?
A: Micro switch or relay outputs offer reliable signal transmission to control systems. This ensures quick and safe responses to solid level changes, helping automate hopper filling or prevent overflows.
Q: What protection and durability features are included in the switch?
A: Its die-cast aluminum enclosure is rated IP65, providing robust protection against dust and moisture. The unit is additionally finished with powder coating or polishing for corrosion resistance, and its mechanical life is rated for ten million operations.
Q: How is the switch installed and what process requirements does it meet?
A: Installation is simple, with cable entry choices of gland or plug type, and mounting options for either the top or side of a vessel. The switch operates under ambient humidity 85% and pressure up to 1 kg/cm, ensuring compatibility with varied industrial processes.
