Principal of Operation

For several decades rotary paddle technology has been used as a method for detecting the presence and absence of bulk solid materials. A robust synchronous motor drives a stainless steel output shaft at approximately 1 RPM.

In the Model RH/RHX HIGH TEMP rotary paddle bin level indicator the output shaft is attached to a stainless steel extension shaft and the paddle is attached to the end of this extension. The extension shaft is enclosed within a stainless steel cooling chamber extension that allows for the connection to an air line for air purge cooling. This assembly is finished with a stainless steel/graphite-alloy seal.

The paddle rotates freely in the absence of material within the bin. Material presence surrounding the paddle in the bin will impede its rotation and cause the state of the built-in relay contacts to change, indicating material presence. The built-in LED’s will change to indicate the status of the alarm condition.

Application and Use

High (full), low (empty) and intermediate (demand) level indication are common applications where high process temperatures up to 750° F (399° C) are common. The Model RH/RHX HIGH TEMP units can be used to detect materials with density from 5lbs/ft³ (80kg/m³) for low and intermediate level control and from 10lbs/ft³ (160kg/m³) for high level.

Model RH/RHX Rotary Paddle Accessories

Rotary paddle accessories are used for a variety of reasons;

  • Paddles are the extension of the rotary bin level indicator shaft into the material and this device contacts the material in the bin when present. The density and particle size relate directly to the paddle to be used, along with mounting criteria.
  • Couplings provide a method for connecting the rotary unit output shaft to the paddle when a fixed paddle is to be used.

The proper choice and use of a paddle and other type of accessory is important to the success of your installation.

High Temp Models Available

  • 24VAC, 115VAC, 230VAC, 12VDC or 24VDC
  • Standard or Extended Insertion Lengths
  • Folding or Conventional Paddles
  • Ordinary or Hazardous Locations
