Paddle Switch Level Measurement

TSB supplies Paddle Switch Level Measurement solutions in Jordan for reliable point level detection in silos and vessels containing bulk solids. Rotary paddle switches provide a simple and robust solution for detecting full, empty and demand levels across industrial storage and material-handling applications.

The measuring principle uses a continuously rotating paddle. When bulk material covers the paddle and stops its rotation, the device actuates a switching contact to indicate the required level condition.

Product Overview

Why Choose Paddle Switch Level Measurement?

Paddle switches provide a simple, proven and cost-effective solution for point level detection in bulk solids.

Because the switching principle is based on the physical stopping of a rotating paddle, the device does not require complex calibration. This makes it particularly suitable for straightforward full, empty and demand indication in silos and bulk storage applications.

Robust construction, rotation monitoring and flexible mounting options support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments, including applications where combustible dust may be present.

For plant operators, this provides simple commissioning, reliable level detection, low maintenance requirements and effective protection against overfilling or empty running.
