Protocontrol make paddle type level switch is a simple but reliable switch for level control of the wide variety of free flowing solids. The switch can well be used for sensing the level of free flowing powders like cement, steel, ore, fertilizer, food grains, coal, sand chips etc.
Paddle type level switch uses specially designed motor, which does not burn under locked rotor condition. Specially designed ptfe lip seal are also used to prevent ingress of dust particles into main enclosure. Field replaceable paddle assembly makes it suitable at various applications.
Paddle type switches use a motor, which drives a paddle through a planetary gearbox arrangement. When level of the solid reaches the rotating paddle, it tends to stall the paddle. Micro switches are actuated to provide level interlocks.
