Paddle Type Level Switches

Our Paddle Type Level Switches offer a reliable solution for detecting levels of bulk solids in hoppers, bins, and silos. Designed with robust paddle mechanisms, these switches provide accurate and efficient point level detection, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted material flow processes. Experience dependable bulk solids detection with our Paddle Type Level Switches, suitable for various industrial applications.

Experience the reliability of VEKSLER Paddle Type Level Switches, a smart solution designed for precise level detection of bulk solids in hoppers, bins, and silos. Driven by a small electric motor, the paddle rotates freely when material is absent. Upon encountering material, the motor turns within the housing, compressing a spring and activating two switches. One switch handles control and alarm functions, while the other cuts off the motor’s power. When the material level decreases, the loaded spring returns the motor to its original position, reactivating the unit.

Features:

  • Efficient Mechanism: A small electric motor powers the paddle, ensuring accurate level detection by responding to material presence or absence.
  • Spring-Activated System: The mechanism triggers switches when material impedes the paddle, allowing precise control and alarm functions.
  • Reliable Operation: As material levels change, the loaded spring returns the motor to its initial position, seamlessly reactivating the unit.
  • Heavy-Duty Design: Our Rotary Paddle Switches are built for durability, suitable for dust, granules, and free-flowing solids up to 10 mm in size.
  • Versatile Mounting: Designed for bins, hoppers, and silos, ideal for controlling level, filling, and emptying processes.
  • Application Areas: Widely used in agriculture, chemical, food industries, and more.
  • Enclosure Options: Choose from Polymer or Cast Aluminium enclosures to match your needs.
  • Probe Length and Revolution: Customizable probe lengths up to 3 meters and a rotation speed of 1 to 2 per minute.
  • Temperature Tolerance: Operational in environments ranging from -40°C to +65°C.
  • Variety of Wetted Parts: Options include Galvanized mild steel, stainless steel, and Plastic (glass reinforced) components.
  • Material of Vanes: Choose between Galvanized mild steel and stainless steel vanes.
  • Process Connection: Standard 1½”/1″ BSP, with other options available upon request.
  • Medium Specific Gravity: Handles materials with a minimum specific gravity of 0.04 Kg/m³.
  • Medium Temperature and Pressure: Suitable for medium temperatures from 40°C to +90°C and maximum pressure of 2 bar.
  • Output and Power Supply: Options for 1 SPDT 230 V AC, 10 A output or 2X SPDT output, powered by 230 V AC (+15%).
