High-Temperature Rotary Paddle Level Switch – Bulk Solids Detection
High-Temperature Rotary Paddle Level Switch – Bulk Solids Detectionprovides point-level detection for powders, granules, pellets, grains and other bulk solids. When material reaches the rotating paddle, resistance to rotation activates an internal switch and provides an on/off signal for level indication or control. Threaded and flange mounting options, stainless steel paddle construction and high-temperature variants make it suitable for a range of industrial bulk material handling applications.
The High-Temperature Rotary Paddle Level Switch – Bulk Solids Detection is designed for reliable point-level detection of bulk solids in industrial storage and processing equipment. It can be used with materials including powders, granules, pellets and grains.
The operating principle is mechanical and straightforward. The paddle rotates while the material is below the detection point. When bulk material reaches the paddle and restricts its movement, the internal mechanism responds and changes the switch condition. This provides a clear level signal for connected control or indication equipment.
The range includes configurations intended for side mounting, with threaded and flange connection options described across the supplied product pages. Stainless steel paddle construction is specified, while the high-temperature versions are intended for elevated-temperature process environments.
How It Works
- A motor rotates the paddle continuously while the detection point is clear.
- As bulk material reaches the paddle, the material restricts its rotation.
- The resulting rotational resistance causes the internal switching mechanism to change state.
- The switching signal can be used with alarms, PLCs, conveyors or filling control systems.
