In spite of all the different technologies available for point level detection sometimes there is no beating an old favorite. Rotary paddle bin level sensors have been used for years in all types of powder and bulk solid applications.
Paddle units are still a best seller for Monitor and have been for our 50+ years of being in business. 50+ years is an impressive run for any technology so there must be something to be said about the humble paddle unit!
In addition to "ease of installation" and "reliability", the paddle unit gives a "great bang" for your buck!
Our standard model KA still sells for less than $200.00 for the power-pack. For critical applications, we also offer our SafePoint® rotary paddle bin indicator designed as a true "fail-safe" unit the SafePoint paddle unit will let you know if there is a problem either electrically or mechanically. The SafePoint is a bit more in price than the standard KA but the price difference is minimal when you look at what you get! The ordinary location SafePoint has a highly visible light on the cover so you can determine at a glance the relay status.
Look, things are still tough for many of us, we are all looking for ways to get a job done as economically as possible without compromising quality and functionality. The next time you have a need for an affordable and reliable level sensor give us a call to discuss a KA or a SafePoint rotary paddle unit.
