The PFG05ATFV is a high-performance rotary paddle level sensor engineered for monitoring solid materials in silos, bins, and hoppers. Designed for heavy-duty industrial conditions, it excels in high-temperature applications, corrosive environments, and potentially explosive atmospheres. By providing accurate full/empty detection, it enhances operational safety, prevents overfilling, and ensures smooth manufacturing processes.
Key Features
- Durable die-cast aluminum housing and stainless steel paddle shaft
- High-temperature capability: -20°C to 600°C
- Explosion-proof design compliant with ATEX, IECEx, and UKCA standards
- Flexible paddle options for different materials and densities
- IP65 protection against dust and water jets
Design & Functionality
Constructed with precision engineering, the PFG05ATFV combines a mechanically robust paddle with a reliable SPDT microswitch output. Its versatile paddle design allows adaptation to various solids, including powders and granular materials. Installation requires no specialized tools, while optional mechanical and electrical customizations enhance usability.
Total Crossed Beams
The sensor detects material thresholds using total crossed beam principles, ensuring fast, reliable signal generation for process automation. Its high-sensitivity design minimizes false triggers, even in challenging conditions with dust or moisture.
Beam Pitch Options
Customizable paddle configurations allow for optimal measurement of material densities and flow characteristics. Users can select the number of blades and paddle type (plastic or stainless steel) to suit specific applications, ensuring consistent monitoring performance.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The PFG05ATFV maintains intrinsic synchronism between paddle rotation and sensor detection, providing precise full/empty alerts. Its low-speed rotation of 1 RPM ensures minimal wear while delivering accurate measurements for continuous cycles.
Operational Advantages
- Ensures highest safety in explosive dust environments
- Supports extreme temperatures and corrosive substances
- Reduces downtime with easy maintenance and installation
- Enhances reliability in combination with other level measurement systems (radar, capacitive, ultrasound)
This sensor is ideal for manufacturers, processing plants, and storage facilities seeking a dependable solution for solid level monitoring under extreme conditions. Its design merges safety, reliability, and longevity into a single, high-performance instrument.
