ESMZX SPDT output Rotary paddle level switches of solid materials
Working Principle
The paddle level switch is driven by a micro motor to rotate the blades. When the blades come into contact with the material, they are obstructed and stop. The detection device senses the change in resistance and outputs a switch signal, cutting off the motor power; after the material drops, the blades resume rotation and the signal resets. Its core components include a drive motor, drive shaft, clutch, blades, detection device, and sealing components. Level control is achieved through the linkage of mechanical transmission and electrical signals.
Product Features
1. Durable Material:
The blades are mostly made of stainless steel or engineering plastics, suitable for corrosive, high-temperature, or high-dust environments.
2. Flexible Installation:
Supports various installation methods such as threaded, flange, side-mounted, and top-mounted, adaptable to different container structures.
Blades come in diverse shapes (straight type, shovel type, flag type, sickle type, etc.) and can be customized according to material characteristics.
3. High Reliability:
Internally designed with oil seals and dual-layer dust-proof structure, protection level up to IP65/IP67, preventing dust and water ingress.
Equipped with overload protection to prevent motor damage when the blades are obstructed.
4. Strong Signal Output Compatibility:
Output signal is usually an SPDT relay contact (AC250V/5A), which can be directly connected to PLC/DCS systems, supporting alarms and feed equipment linkage.
appLication scenarios
1. Building Materials / Cement Industry (Most Typical)
Cement silo, fly ash silo, lime silo, mineral powder silo: monitor full level (high level) to prevent overflow, monitor empty level (low level) to prevent conveyor equipment from running empty.
Aggregate silos at batching plants: detect sand, gravel, and other granular materials.
Silos for gypsum, putty powder, tile adhesive, and other powdered materials.
2. Grain / Feed / Food Industry
Grain bins, silos, vertical storage silos: control the levels of wheat, corn, rice, soybean, and other granular materials.
Raw material silos / finished product silos in feed factories: soybean meal, cornmeal, bran, pellet feed.
Food processing plants: flour, starch, sugar, milk powder, coffee beans, nuts, etc.
3. Power / Coal Industry
Power plant coal powder silos, raw coal silos, ash silos: monitor coal powder and fly ash levels to ensure stable boiler operation.
Coal mines / coal preparation plants: high and low level alarms for coal silos, gangue silos, and clean coal silos.
4. Metallurgical / Mining Industry
Blast furnace, converter, sintering machine silos: iron ore, coke, sintered ore, limestone, etc.
Ore dressing plants: ore powder, concentrate powder, tailings silos.
Steel plants: alloy powder, lime powder, dust collection ash silos.
5. Chemical / Plastic / Pharmaceutical Industry
Chemical raw material silos: PVC powder, PE/PP granules, urea, fertilizers, soda ash, calcium carbide powder, etc.
Plastic pelletizing / injection molding plants: plastic pellets, color masterbatches, recycled material silos.
Pharmaceutical plants: active pharmaceutical ingredient powder, excipient powder, traditional Chinese medicine granule silos.
6. Environmental Protection / Other Industries
Waste incineration plants, cement plant kiln head and kiln tail ash silos.
Sawdust, wood powder, biomass fuel silos.
Sand and gravel yards, concrete batching plant aggregate silos.
