The Motorized (Paddle) Level Sensor is a device designed to mechanically measure material levels in silos and tanks. This sensor operates using a motorized system to monitor material levels. Ideal for solid materials such as powders, granules, and pellets, this sensor stands out for its robust construction and reliable performance. Its easy installation and long-lasting design make it an effective level control solution for industrial applications.
Motor Spindle rotates freely while there is no solid material (powder or granule) inside silo or bunker. When the powder or granüle material comes to a level blocking the spindle to rtate, the mechanical switch turns off. As soon as the switch turns off, the energy of the motor is cut meaning that powder or granular material has been reached desired level.
ADVANTAGES AND USAGE AREAS
WHAT TYPES OF APPLICATIONS ARE USED?
It is used for lower (min) and upper (max) level detection in silos, tanks, bunkers and machines containing raw materials in solid form (powder or granule). Different shaft lengths, propeller type (straight or bladed type) and number of propellers can be selected depending on the physical properties (density, stickiness, moisture, etc.) of the solid substance (powder or granule) whose level will be determined.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO OTHER LEVEL SENSORS?
Its most important advantage over vibrating and capacitive level sensors is that the level can be detected independently of pressure, powder movement and temperature.
AREAS OF USE
Rotary paddle level switches have been utilized for level detection for any kind of powder material inside a silo, bunker or machine working for its production.
