VMS Series Rotary Paddle Level Switch

Product Description

The VMS Series Motorised Paddle Level Switch is a level sensor used for reliable level control of bulk solid materials. Thanks to its durable mechanical structure, high detection sensitivity and user-friendly design, it is used reliably for many years in silo automation, bunker systems and industrial storage applications. Thanks to its motor-driven rotating paddle mechanism, it reliably detects the material level. When the material touches the paddle the motor stops, and the output contact changes position to send level information to the automation system. When the material level drops, the mechanism automatically returns to its normal operating position. Probe (immersion) lengths can be produced as required for the application. Easy Electrical Connection As an alternative to the classic cable connection inside the junction box, different connection options are offered: M12 industrial connector, DIN connector, PG9 cable gland. This shortens installation time and makes maintenance and service easier. Transparent Cover and LED Status Indicators High-brightness LED indicators behind the transparent cover allow the operating status of the device to be monitored from a distance. Green LED: device is energized and operating normally. Red LED: level detected / output active. Supply options: 220 VAC, 24 VDC. A 5-step sensitivity adjustment is available for materials of different densities. Applications: The motorised paddle level switch is used to control material level especially in silos and bunkers containing dense, sticky or non-flowing dry materials (such as flour, feed, cement and plastic granules). It is preferred in cement silos, feed production plants, flour mills, grain stores, plastic granule plants, the chemical industry, mining and mineral processing, the ceramic and glass industry, lime and plaster plants, wood and MDF production, food production lines and powder/granule storage systems. It stands out with its reliable operation and mechanical durability even in dusty and demanding environments. Thanks to its low maintenance needs, it is a long-lasting solution.
