Specification

1.1  Intended use

The rotary blade level indicator IR observes the filling level as a 
limit switch. It can be used as indicator for dusty and powdery, 
granulated and grainy bulk goods and are appropriated due to the 
range of models and blades to control the level of bulk solids like 
dust, flour, grain, sand, plastic, etc.

with a bulk density between

0.01 to 2 t/m . Although the characteristics of the product, humidity, 
conductivity, grain size, etc. change, any adjustment is needed

These devices are used to control the level in silos, containers, 
bunkers and they can be installed horizontally or vertically. For 
vertical mountings there are rope shafts up to 10 m that could be 
made depending on the product to control.

The rotating measuring blade, projecting into the silo or container, 
is driven by a gearmotor. If the bulk material reaches the 
measuring blade, the rotation will be hindered and it will be 
stopped. The return torque turns the pivoted motor from its end 
position and actuates the signal switch. A second switch turns the 
motor off.
If the filling level of the bulk material sinks, the blade becomes 
freely again and a spring will turn the motor back into its original 
end position. Thereby the motor will be turned on again and the 
signal switch will be switched back.
