Rotating Paddle Level Switch
Description:
Rotating Paddle Level Switch is a reliable point-level sensor used for detecting the presence or absence of bulk solid materials. It operates by a motor-driven paddle that stops rotating when material covers it, triggering a switch signal. It is widely used for level indication, alarms, and control in storage silos, bins, and hoppers.
