The PFG09Z rotary paddle level switch is engineered for industrial and food-grade applications requiring accurate monitoring of solids. Trusted by manufacturers, it ensures reliable detection of full or empty conditions in silos and bins while maintaining operational safety in explosive or corrosive environments.
Key Features
- ATEX-certified for use in hazardous atmospheres
- Suitable for food contact and corrosive materials
- Easy installation without specialized tools
- Versatile mounting: vertical, horizontal, or oblique
- High reliability for integration with radar, capacitive, or ultrasonic sensors
Design & Functionality
Constructed with a die-cast aluminum casing and stainless steel shaft, the PFG09Z is durable and low-maintenance. Its life-lubricated sealed bearings, dust-tight retaining ring, and multiple paddle options ensure precise detection across a wide range of materials.
Total Crossed Beams
The sensor’s paddle design provides full coverage across the bin, detecting low-density materials down to 0.1 kg/dm³. Multiple blade configurations allow customization for highly disturbed or abrasive materials.
Beam Pitch Options
Adjustable paddles and multiple blade counts optimize accuracy depending on material type and density. Stainless steel or polyamide paddles ensure compatibility with corrosive or food-grade materials.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The PFG09Z maintains precise rotational alignment, delivering consistent signals for SPDT outputs. Its 1-turn-per-minute rotation ensures smooth operation while preventing material jamming.
Operational Advantages
This sensor offers unmatched safety and performance in industrial environments. Its robust design, ATEX certification, and adaptability make it ideal for food processing, chemical handling, or any facility requiring reliable solids-level measurement.
