The Rotonivo® RN 6001 Rotary Paddle Level Switch offers a robust, cost-effective point-level detection solution for bulk solid applications, especially where standard or moderate bridging conditions prevail. By operating on a slow-rotating paddle principle, it physically senses product coverage through mechanical stall detection rather than relying on dielectric or conductivity changes. This approach provides:
Low Calibration Overhead
Just ensuring correct torque for the product’s density.
Mechanical Reliability
With sealed bearings and a slip clutch, the device is designed for dusty or mildly abrasive conditions.
Integration Flexibility
Outputs feed easily into PLCs, local alarms, or SCADA systems, with optional fail-safe logic.
Ease of Maintenance
Routine checks for paddle wear or bridging lumps typically suffice, ensuring year-round operation with minimal downtime.
By selecting an appropriate mounting orientation, verifying electrical supply and wiring, performing routine maintenance, and integrating the sensor’s toggles into control logic for alarms or feed line interlocks, plant operators can effectively avoid overfills, prompt timely material replenishment, and maintain safer, more efficient production flows.
