The PFG57X is a high-precision rotary paddle level indicator designed for industrial applications where reliable material monitoring is critical. Ideal for solids, corrosives, and food products, it ensures accurate level detection in silos, tanks, and bins. Compact yet robust, the PFG57X provides manufacturers with a safe and cost-effective solution for monitoring material thresholds while complying with ATEX and IECEx standards.
Key Features
- Sturdy die-cast aluminum casing with stainless steel paddles
- ATEX & IECEx certifications for explosive environments
- Suitable for food-contact applications
- Adaptable paddle design for varying material densities
- Easy installation with minimal tools
Design & Functionality
The PFG57X combines compact design with high functionality. Its 1” 1/2 Gas (BSPP) process connection and sealed bearings ensure durability. Rotation speed is set at 1 turn per minute for consistent detection. The instrument operates efficiently across a broad temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) and maintains IP65 protection against dust and water jets.
Total Crossed Beams
Engineered to function alongside radar, capacitive, or ultrasonic sensors, the PFG57X provides an additional reliable signal. Its paddle system ensures total material coverage for accurate full/empty level detection, even in disturbed or dusty environments.
Beam Pitch Options
Multiple paddle sizes and materials (AISI 304/303 stainless steel) allow for customization based on material density and installation requirements. This flexibility ensures compatibility with both food-grade and corrosive materials.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor maintains intrinsic synchronism with production processes, providing real-time alerts and operational data for automated systems. Its SPDT micro switch output ensures seamless integration into industrial monitoring platforms.
Operational Advantages
- Reduces downtime with reliable level alerts
- Enhances production safety in hazardous zones
- Low-maintenance operation with minimal wear
- Broad adaptability for different industries
