Level Switch for Dry Goods

Level Switch for Dry Goods

A level switch for dry goods is a device used to detect and indicate the level of dry materials, such as powders, grains, or granular substances, in a container, conveyor, or silo. By using level switches, efficient material handling is ensured, preventing overfilling or underfilling of the material. 

Function and Usage  

The level switch operates by monitoring the fill level and sends signals to indicate when a certain level has been reached. This is crucial for maintaining consistent production and preventing spills or damage to equipment. They are often used in industries that handle materials such as: 

  • Grains and seeds 
  • Powders and chemicals 
  • Plastic pellets and granulates 

Our Level Switches  

Our level switches function as switches activated by a membrane. When the level of dry goods reaches a certain point, it affects a rubber membrane, which in turn activates a microswitch. This switch sends a signal to indicate that the preset level has been reached. This design makes the level switches both reliable and easy to maintain, making them ideal for tough industrial environments where electronic sensors may be less dependable. 

Advantages of Our Level Switches for Dry Goods 

  • Precision: Provides accurate measurements of fill levels. 
  • Safety: Reduces the risk of overfilling and underfilling. 
  • Efficiency: Automates monitoring, saving time and resources. 

Implementation and Maintenance  

Installing level switches is a simple process that requires minimal maintenance, as demonstrated by Johan Hansson AB. Regular calibration and inspection ensure they function correctly and extend their lifespan.
