The RN 3002 Tube rotary paddle level sensor is engineered for accurate point level detection in bulk solids across industrial storage and processing systems. Designed to perform in demanding environments, it ensures reliable operation even in extreme temperatures, high-pressure conditions, and dust-heavy processes. This level detection solution supports industries requiring consistent monitoring of powders, granules, and solid materials.
Key Features
- Rotary paddle measurement for precise level detection
- Operates in temperatures up to +1100°C
- Resistant to buildup, dust, and material coating
- Adjustable sensitivity for varying material densities
- Flexible tube extension for deep vessel applications
- Hygienic design suitable for regulated environments
- Multiple output options for industrial integration
Application
This level sensor is widely used in silos, hoppers, storage tanks, and process vessels handling bulk solids. It is ideal for industries such as cement, food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing where accurate level monitoring prevents overflow, improves inventory control, and enhances operational safety.
Design & Functionality
The rotating paddle mechanism detects material presence by resistance change when solids reach the sensor. Its tube extension allows installation in deep or vertical mounting positions, making it suitable for large storage vessels. The design ensures stable performance regardless of dust accumulation or material buildup.
Total Crossed Beams
The RN 3002 Tube utilizes a robust mechanical sensing approach rather than optical beams, ensuring consistent operation even in opaque or dusty environments where traditional sensors may fail.
Beam Pitch Options
Instead of beam-based detection, this sensor offers configurable immersion lengths and sensitivity adjustments, enabling precise adaptation to different bulk material characteristics.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The internal motor-driven paddle maintains continuous rotation, ensuring real-time level detection with reliable switching behavior. Fail-safe logic options further enhance operational reliability.
Operational Advantages
- Reliable operation in harsh industrial environments
- Minimal maintenance due to buildup-resistant design
- Suitable for both standard and hygienic applications
- Supports automation systems with flexible outputs
- Prevents overflow and improves process efficiency
