The PFG86 for Plaster is an advanced rotary level indicator designed for high-precision monitoring of plaster levels in silos, tanks, and mixers. Developed for industrial applications, this sensor supports efficient material handling, reduces operational downtime, and ensures consistent product quality. Its rugged construction, coupled with intelligent design, makes it a trusted choice for manufacturers focused on automation and productivity.
Key Features
- Durable die-cast aluminum casing and cover
- Stainless steel AISI 303 shaft with life-lubricated sealed bearings
- Polyamide AC9 paddles for reliable detection
- SPDT micro switch output for precise level signaling
- Low power consumption (max 4 W) for energy-efficient operations
Design & Functionality
The PFG86 features a compact, robust design suitable for industrial plaster environments. The shaft and paddles are engineered to withstand continuous operation, dust, and ambient temperatures ranging from -20° to +70°C. Its dual cable entry system and secure fastening ensure easy integration into existing silos or tanks.
Total Crossed Beams
The rotary paddle mechanism allows for total crossing of the material, detecting both full and empty thresholds accurately. This ensures consistent material flow monitoring without false triggers, reducing waste and optimizing storage management.
Beam Pitch Options
The PFG86 supports various paddle sizes to detect material densities between 0.1 and 2.0 kg/dm³, allowing customization for specific plaster types and production requirements.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor’s low-speed rotation of 1 turn per minute provides synchronized movement with material flow, minimizing mechanical stress and extending operational lifespan.
Operational Advantages
Using the PFG86 ensures reliable level detection, reduces production interruptions, and integrates seamlessly with automated control systems. Its durable materials, precision engineering, and simple installation provide industrial operators with a high-performance solution for solid material management.
