SE Series Rotary Paddle Level Switch

SE Series Rotary Paddle Level Switch

The SE series operating principle is simple. A 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 1 RPM. When this paddle rotation is impeded by material, surroanding the paddle, motor will stall and cause the Micro switch to change state. (indicating an alarm or control) Product Introduction

Working Principle

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).

Feature

  • 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

Applications

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