Rotonivo® - RN 3005 Rotary Paddle Level Switch

Brand: UWT GmbH

The Rotonivo® RN 3005 Rotary Paddle Level Switch offers plant engineers and operators a dependable, cost-effective point-level sensor for bulk solids in moderate industrial conditions. A slow-turning paddle installed at a target fill level signals “covered” or “uncovered” based on mechanical stall detection—independent of product dielectric changes or moderate dust. Key benefits include:

Mechanical Simplicity
Reduced calibration overhead, straightforward failure modes.

Compact Form
Fitting smaller vessel nozzles or side wall couplings.

Robust Enclosure
IP66/IP67, with sealed bearings to resist dust infiltration.

Adaptable Paddle Designs
Folding or multi-blade options for different product densities or insertion constraints.

Fail-Safe Output
Some variants let you define behavior upon power loss or motor fault.

Provides reliable detection of high or low product levels. This helps prevent spillage and maintain consistent feeds for a more efficient material handling environment for typical powders, grains, pellets, or lumps.

Features
  • Simple, reliable and maintenance-free limit switch in loading bellows
  • Works in almost all bulk materials
  • Plug and play level limit switch without calibration
