The purpose of the rotary paddle level switch is to detect the presence of solid/powdery material in most kinds of tanks, bins and containers.
The unit is usually located through a bin wall at the top, middle or low level of a bin. During normal operation (no material present) a synchronous motor rotates the paddle at RPM. When this paddle rotation is impeded by material, surrounding the paddle, motor will stall and cause the Micro-switch to change state (indicating an alarm or control).
- Rugged sealing ring prevents dust from infiltrating the housing body along the shaft.
- Adjustable torque.
- If the rotary paddle encounters overloading, the motor will automatically shut down the motor to prevent damage to the inner mechanisms and extend motor life.
- Very suitable for small tanks and low density materials
- Adjustable and extendible shaft models available
- A wide variety of paddles are available
- Plastics and synthetics
- Chemicals and fertilizer
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food and beverage
- Agriculture and fodder mills/depots
