This paddle design simplifies installation and removal

| By Chemical Engineering

A new option for the BMRX and Maxima+ rotary level indicators is a collapsible paddle. This paddle design simplifies installation and removal of the rotary by allowing the stainless-steel paddle to be collapsed to fit through a standard 1-1/4-in. opening common to powder and bulk agricultural and industrial storage bins. The paddle is available on new level indicators and can be retrofit onto existing devices. The paddle is offered as either a one- or two-paddle design. The two-paddle design (photo) is said to be best suited for light- to medium-weight materials, such as feeds, seeds and grains, or where more surface area is needed to apply resistance to the paddle and activate alerts. — Garner Industries, Lincoln, Neb.
