New Level Switch For Storage Of Granules, Dust, Powders And Solid Products
Val.Co has introduced a new LPM level switch specifically designed to control the storage of dusts, granules and solid products.
Particularly suited for the pharma, food, plastics and agri markets, the reliable level switch is of robust construction and consists of a stainless steel rotating shaft with sealed self-lubricating bearings. The shaft is driven by a synchronous gear motor at low speed. When the material stops the rotation of the blades, the power supply to the geared motor will be cut off, activating an electric changeover contact.
Managing Director of GHM Messtechnik South Africa, Jan Grobler, commented “This new LPM level switch from Val.Co is the most cost-efficient level switch on the market whilst still maintaining its renowned instrumentation quality, accuracy and reliability. Not only is the shaft manufactured from stainless steel its performance is enhanced by the self-lubricating bearing system. We believe this newly developed LPM level switch will add value to the control of the storage of granules, dust and other solid products”.
