Product details
SITRANS Rotary paddle Switch
SITRANS LPS200 is a rotary paddle switch for point level detection in bulk solids.
The paddle switch technology detects full, empty or demand conditions on materials such as grain, feed, cement, plastic granulate and wood chips. The paddle switch can handle bulk densities as low as 15.06 g/L with the optional hinged vane or 100 g/L with the standard measuring vane.
A low revolution geared motor with slip clutch drives a rotating measuring vane which senses the presence of material at the mounted level of the LPS200. As material comes into contact with the rotating paddle, rotation stop, which changes the microswitch state. When the paddle is no longer covered by material, rotation resumes and the relay can revert to its normal condition.
The LPS200 has a rugged design for use in harsh conditions in the solids industry. The sensitivity of the paddle can be adjusted for varying material properties like buildup on the vane.
The LPS200 comes in various configurations including compact, extended and cable extension. It is equipped with a standard vane which is effective in most applications. It can also be configured with a hinged or rectangular vane for increased sensitivity for light materials.
Features and Benefits
Proven paddle switch technology for bulk solids
High integrity mechanical seal
Universal power supply options available
Unique friction clutch mechanism prevents damage from falling material
Rotatable enclosure for convenient wiring
Optional paddles for use with low density materials
Small paddle makes for simple installation through existing process connection
High temperature model and optional extension kit available
Optional fail-safe configuration detects loss of rotation
Functional Safety (SIL 2). Device suitable for use in accordance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
Product Application Information
Key Applications: bulk solids such as grain, feed, cement, plastic granulate, wood chips.
Approvals
CSA, CE, FM, ATEX, C-TICK
