Product Overview

Rugged, ready, and precise, the SITRANS LPS200 rotary paddle level switch features state-of-the-art safety technology and multiple paddle options, making it both reliable and versatile.

Application Highlights

The following examples illustrate just a few of the many possible applications for rotary paddle point level switches:

Clinker storage silo

SITRANS LPS200 with rigid extension

• High level demand detection of clinker
• Temperatures > 350°C / 662°F
• Horizontally installed for demand detection

Power

SITRANS LPS200 with rigid vertical extension

• Detection of sawdust
• Temperatures can reach 600 °C / 1112°F
• Vertically installed

Asphalt and paving

SITRANS LPS200 standard

• Rugged durability withstands tough environment
• Rotation monitoring alarms if device stops
• SIL options for safety applications

Carbon black

SITRANS LPS200 with angled extension

• Low detection and demand detection of carbon black
• Application has tendency for build-up
• Angled orientation ensures continued rotation even in heavy build-up applications

Adapting to harsh conditions

The SITRANS LPS200 is an essential component of any bulk solids operation. The durable paddle switch accurately detects varying conditions on a range of materials. Additionally, the SITRANS LPS200 can be optimised for low-density solids and high temperatures.

Practical, low-maintenance design

• Optional hinged vane for low density materials and small process connections.
• Five seal ingress protection.
• Motor switches off during alarm for long service life.
• Friction clutch design prevents impact damage.
• Rotation failure monitoring.
• Ideal for extreme conditions including high temperature and build-up.
• Rotatable enclosure for ease of installation.
