rotary paddle level switch series

What Is a Paddle Level Switch and Why Industrial Plants Rely on Them

A paddle level switch provides industrial plants with a straightforward solution to monitor solid material levels in silos, hoppers, and bins. These motor-driven devices use a rotating paddle mechanism that stops when material covers it and triggers a point level detection signal. You might call it a rotary paddle level switch, rotating paddle level switch,
