Introduction: The J Type Rotating Paddle Level Switch is a robust and reliable device designed for continuous level measurement and control of bulk solids and powders. It features a paddle mounted on a shaft that rotates at a fixed speed. When the material level rises and obstructs the paddle, the rotational movement is hindered, triggering a switch to indicate high or low levels.
Applications:
- Food Processing: Monitoring levels of bulk ingredients such as flour, sugar, and grains in silos and hoppers.
- Agriculture: Detecting levels of feed and fertilizer in storage bins, ensuring optimal resource management.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Accurate level measurement of powdered ingredients and raw materials in production processes.
- Cement and Construction: Monitoring levels of cement, sand, and other aggregates in storage facilities and silos.
- Plastic and Rubber Industries: Level detection of granules and powders in mixing and storage applications.
- Mining and Minerals: Detecting levels of bulk materials such as ores and aggregates in storage and processing areas.
- Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring sludge levels in settling tanks, ensuring efficient treatment processes.
Features:
- Durable Construction: Built with robust materials to withstand harsh industrial environments and ensure longevity.
- Reliable Operation: Provides accurate and consistent level detection for bulk solids and powders.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Allows customization of paddle rotation speed and sensitivity to suit specific application needs.
- Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward mounting in existing systems, compatible with various tank and silo designs.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of industries, including food, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.
- Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required due to its robust design and efficient operation.
- Fail-Safe Design: Built-in safety features to prevent false readings and ensure reliable operation in critical applications.
Working Principle: The J Type Rotating Paddle Level Switch operates on a simple yet effective principle of mechanical obstruction. It features a paddle mounted on a shaft that rotates continuously at a predetermined speed. In the absence of material, the paddle spins freely without any resistance. When the material level rises and blocks the paddle, the increased resistance causes the motor to stall or slow down, triggering the internal switch mechanism. This change signals that the material has reached the predetermined level, allowing for appropriate control actions to be taken.
This device is ideal for monitoring levels of bulk solids and powders in various containers such as silos, hoppers, and storage bins. Its straightforward design ensures reliable performance, making it a popular choice in multiple industries.
