Rotary Level Indicator for Cement Silos | ILT-C2

Description

The ILT-C2 rotary level indicator is a reliable device designed to monitor material levels inside cement silos, hoppers, and bulk storage bins. Using a rotating paddle mechanism, the sensor detects when bulk material reaches a preset level and sends an electrical signal to the control system.

This level indicator helps prevent silo overfilling, improves inventory monitoring, and ensures efficient operation of concrete batching plants and bulk material handling systems.

Function

As soon as the material level reaches the measuring paddle rotation is blocked. As soon as the material level sinks below the paddle radius, rotation restarts activating other system components. The top or side-mounted indicators are commonly used for powdery and granular materials.
 

Features

• Multivoltage design
• All contact parts in stainless steel
• High or low process temperature options
• Various process connections
• ATEX-certified

Key Benefits

• Accurate detection of high or low material level in silos
• Prevents silo overfilling during truck loading
• Reliable rotary paddle technology
• Compatible with powders and granular materials
• Simple installation on silo wall or roof

Rotary level indicators provide reliable monitoring regardless of dust, conductivity, or material properties.

Typical Applications

ILT level indicators are commonly used in:

• Cement silos in concrete batching plants

• Fly ash storage silos

• Lime storage bins

• Grain and feed silos

• Powder handling systems

These devices help monitor material levels and improve process control in industrial bulk storage systems.

How a Rotary Silo Level Indicator Works

The level indicator contains a motor that rotates a measuring paddle inside the silo.

When the bulk material reaches the paddle, the rotation is blocked. This resistance activates an internal microswitch that sends a signal indicating that the material level has reached the preset point.

When the material level drops, the paddle rotates again and the system resets.

FAQ

What is a silo level indicator used for?
A silo level indicator monitors the amount of material inside a silo and signals when the material reaches a predetermined level.

Where is a level indicator installed on a silo?
Level indicators are usually installed on the side wall or roof of the silo at the desired maximum or minimum level.

What materials can rotary level indicators detect?
They are suitable for powders and granular materials such as cement, sand, grain, plastic pellets, and fly ash.
