The PFG86C level switch delivers high-precision monitoring for bulk solids in industrial silos and bins. Designed to optimize material handling processes, it ensures reliable detection of full or empty levels, minimizing operational downtime and enhancing production efficiency.
Key Features
- Durable die-cast aluminum casing with stainless steel shaft
- Polyamide or stainless steel paddles adaptable for various densities
- ATEX-certified for explosive or hazardous environments
- Compact design ideal for installations with limited space
Design & Functionality
The PFG86C features a short shaft for confined installations, while its sealed bearings and dust-tight retaining ring guarantee smooth operation. The micro-switch output provides reliable signal transmission for automation systems, ensuring immediate alerts for material levels.
Total Crossed Beams
With precise paddle rotation and minimal obstruction, the PFG86C maintains accurate measurement even under heavy-duty usage, ensuring total monitoring coverage across your silo or bin.
Beam Pitch Options
Adjustable paddles allow flexible detection thresholds for different bulk solids densities, ranging from 0.02 kg/dm³ to 2.0 kg/dm³, making it suitable for a variety of industrial materials.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The rotary paddle operates at 1 turn per minute, maintaining intrinsic synchronism with the material flow and preventing false triggers from vibrations or minor material shifts.
Operational Advantages
- Low power consumption (max 4 W)
- Reliable IP65 protection for dust and water jets
- Minimal maintenance due to long-life bearings
- Enhanced industrial safety with ATEX compliance
The PFG86C is an ideal solution for industrial plants requiring accurate, robust, and low-maintenance bulk solids monitoring.
