Reliable Level Detection for Demanding ApplicationsOur rotating paddle point level switches are specifically designed to cater to industries managing bulk solids, powders, and granular materials. The devices rugged stainless steel construction, automatic operation, and die-cast aluminum enclosure allow usage in varied process environments while providing IP65-rated protection. Its mechanical reliability and swift response make it ideal for continuous operations requiring high uptime and minimal maintenance.
Versatile Mounting and Easy IntegrationThe switch offers flexible installation optionsside or top mountingto accommodate diverse process setups. With a universal cable entry (PG13.5) and standard 1 BSP/NPT process connections, integration into existing systems is straightforward. The device supports single pole (SPDT) switching and handles up to 5A at 230VAC, aligning with a variety of automation systems.
FAQs of Rotating Paddle Point Level Switches:
Q: How does the rotating paddle point level switch operate in bulk solids applications?
A: The switch works by rotating its paddle at 1 rpm inside the storage vessel. When the bulk solid, powder, or granular material comes in contact with the paddle, the movement is restricted, which triggers the micro switch output to indicate the materials presence or absence.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this rotating paddle switch?
A: Key advantages include reliable level detection, robust stainless steel construction for durability, a polished finish for easy cleaning, and a mechanical life of over 1 million operations, ensuring long-term, maintenance-free service in harsh environments.
Q: Where can this level switch be installed in a process system?
A: It is suitable for side or top mounting on silos, hoppers, and other storage containers handling powders, bulk solids, or granular materials. The standard 1 BSP or NPT connection makes it versatile for various applications.
Q: What process conditions can this level switch withstand?
A: This device is built to perform under pressures up to 1 kg/cm and temperatures ranging from -10C to 80C. Its IP65 enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress during demanding process operations.
Q: What supply voltages and output types does this device support?
A: It operates reliably on 24V AC/DC or 220V AC and features a micro switch output with SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, supporting automation integration and electrical control circuits.
Q: How can this switch benefit automation and process control?
A: With its automatic operation, quick response time (1 sec), and 5A current rating at 230VAC, this level switch ensures prompt material detection, supporting efficient feed, fill, or shutdown sequences in automated systems.
