Application of Rotary Paddle Level Switch - Just Measure it

Application of Rotary Paddle Level Switch

Rotary paddle level switch is a material level detection device widely used in the field of industrial automation. It determines the material level or existence status by monitoring the change of material resistance to rotating blades. 

The following are some of the main application areas and specific application occasions of rotary paddle level switch:

Main application areas

Chemical Industry: In the chemical production process, the rotary paddle level switch can be used to monitor the level of various solid raw materials, intermediates and finished products to ensure the continuity and stability of the production process. It can be applied to materials in various forms such as powder, granules, and blocks.

Pharmaceutical industry: In the pharmaceutical process, the paddle-rotor level switch monitors the level of APIs, excipients and finished drugs to ensure accurate measurement and quality safety of drug production.

Building materials industry: used to monitor the material level of cement, lime, sand and other building materials to help control production progress and ensure product quality.

Agriculture and feed industry: In agriculture and feed processing, the paddle level switch monitors the level of materials such as grain and feed to ensure smooth storage and processing.

Environmental protection and energy industry: In the fields of waste incineration, biomass energy, etc., the paddle level switch is used to monitor the level of fuel or waste, control the feed amount, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Specific application scenarios

Silos and hoppers: Rotary paddle level switches are often used to monitor material levels in silos and hoppers to prevent material overflow or empty silos.

Material control on the production line: On the production line, the rotary paddle level switch can be combined with the automatic control system to realize automatic material feeding and shutdown control, thereby improving production efficiency.

Mixing and packaging equipment: During the material mixing and packaging process, the paddle level switch is used to monitor the amount of material in the mixing tank or packaging machine to ensure uniform mixing and accurate packaging.

Conveying system: In the material conveying system, the rotary paddle level switch can be used to monitor the material flow in the conveyor belt or pipeline to prevent blockage or overload.

Installation and Usage Notes

Installation location: The device should be installed in a location where the material is stable and not easily disturbed by the outside world. Avoid installing it at the material feed inlet or in a location that is susceptible to impact.

Blade selection: Select the appropriate blade shape and size according to the properties and particle size of the material to ensure the accuracy of detection.

Protective measures: For materials that are prone to agglomeration or have high viscosity, a paddle-rotor level switch with a protective tube can be used to prevent the material from adhering to the blades and affecting detection.

Regular maintenance: Regularly check the working status of the rotary paddle level switch, clean the accumulated material on the blades, and ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of the detection. 

In summary, the rotary paddle level switch has a wide range of application prospects in the field of industrial automation and can provide reliable support for material control in various production processes.
