Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The ROTOSAFE rotary paddle switch by BRAIME is designed to detect the presence or absence of bulk materials such as chemicals, wood chips, grain, granules, and powders. It is suitable for use in bunkers, hoppers, silos, and as a blockage detector in conveyor chutes.
Method of Operation
The device operates by using a rotating paddle. When material impedes the paddle's rotation, the motor topples, triggering a contact that cuts power to the motor and signals a critical level. The motor restarts when the material level decreases. The ROTOSAFE includes a failsafe rotation detection circuit and a magnetic test feature for motor shutdown.
Paddle Selection
Four paddle options are available to accommodate a range of product densities from heavy to light.
Options
The KITRTS system allows for adjustable level detection between 0.65 and 2.1 meters.

4B - RotoSafe - Rotary Level Indicator-1

Product Information Rotary Paddle Level Indicator APPLICATION The ROTOSAFE rotary paddle switch is designed to signal the presence or absence of bulk materials such as chemical products, wood chips, grain, granules and powders. It is ideal for bunkers, hoppers and silos as well as for blockage detectors in conveyor chutes. METHOD OF OPERATION The detection of material is achieved by a rotating paddle. If material impedes the rotation of the paddle, the motor topples on its axe and triggers a contact. The power supply to the motor is cut and the contact signals that the critical level has been reached. When the level of the material goes down again, the motor returns to its initial position and restarts. The ROTOSAFE has a « Failsafe » rotation detection circuit; it has a magnetic test allowing to shut the motor down. PADDLE SELECTION Four alternative paddles are available to detect a wide range of product from heavy to light densities. OPTIONS KITRTS – system allowing to have an adjustable level between 0,65 and 2,1 meters. Detailed specification, wiring diagrams and installation/operating instructions available immediately upon request. Detailed specification, wiring diagrams and installation/operating instructions available upon request. Please refer to instruction manual for correct installation.
