Design & Functionality
The PFG57 is compact yet powerful, featuring a slow-rotation paddle for sensitive material detection. Its design allows it to be integrated with radar, capacitive, and ultrasonic level sensors as a secondary safety signal. Adjustable paddle types accommodate materials with varying densities, ensuring reliable operation under diverse industrial conditions.
Total Crossed Beams
The sensor’s rotational mechanism delivers consistent detection across the entire silo height. Paddle movement is optimized for minimal interference and maximum reliability, even in dusty or dense materials.
Beam Pitch Options
Multiple paddle sizes and materials, including polyamide and stainless steel, enable tailored configurations. This ensures the switch detects materials ranging from fine powders to coarse solids effectively.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The PFG57’s intrinsic mechanical synchronism guarantees consistent rotation speed, precise detection, and long-term reliability. Life-lubricated bearings reduce maintenance requirements and ensure continuous operation.
Operational Advantages
- Enhances safety in explosive dust environments
- Reduces downtime with quick, easy installation
- Adaptable to various industrial applications
- Cost-effective and versatile, ideal for European manufacturing facilities
The PFG57 rotary paddle switch combines durability, flexibility, and precision, making it a top choice for industrial point level monitoring in silos and bins.
