Eliminating Premature Rotary Paddle Bin Level Indicator Motor Failures
The Monitor Technologies Model KA provided the answer to Strong’s problems. The KA rotary paddle bin level indicator uses a heavy-duty electric motor and a unique motor shut-off mechanism with external clutch and adjustable sensitivity. Rather than “stalling” the motor and allowing it to continue to over-torque and turn against the buried paddle, the Monitor Model KA shuts the motor off and extends overall life and ensures long-term reliability. Monitor’s Model KA is used as low and high level alarms on silos, bins and containers throughout Strong Company’s production operation.
