A new rotary paddle level switch
The new BMRX-200 rotary level paddle switch (photo) includes a DPDT (double pole double throw) relay and fail-safe high and fail-safe low. The new red enclosure can be rotated once it is installed. This feature makes it easy to ensure conduit entries are always pointed toward the ground, mitigating the risk of moisture damaging internal components. New guides ensure wires do not get stuck as users push them through conduit entries. A rotary paddle switch is used for point level detection in powders, pellets and granular materials with a bulk density of 2 lb/ft3 to over 100 pounds per cubic foot. They can be installed in bins and silos for overfill prevention and to eliminate material outages that could interrupt a process. Other uses include plugged chute detection and to conveyor overloading prevention. Couplers and paddles sold separately. — BinMaster, Lincoln, Neb.
