Rotary Paddle Switch Point Level Measurement

Brand: Siemens AG

The SITRANS LPS200 is an essential component of any bulk solids operation. 

The durable paddle switch accurately detects varying conditions on a range of materials. 

Additionally, the SITRANS LPS200 can be optimized for low-density solids and high temperatures.
