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).
• Plastics and synthetics
• Chemicals and fertilizer
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food and beverage
• Agriculture and fodder mills/depots
• Cement as well as ceramics
• Power plants
• Various incinerators
• 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
