- A point level sensor gives an on/off output (material present/absent at a specific point). A continuous level sensor provides ongoing level/inventory measurement across a range. Bindicator offers both types.
- The Roto-Bin-Dicator is a rotary paddle point level switch for dry bulk solids. It’s widely used for high-level and low-level detection in bins and silos and is known for straightforward installation and minimal calibration.
- Rotary paddle switches are popular because they’re mechanically simple, work well across many free-flowing dry bulk materials, and are commonly used for overflow prevention and level control in bins and chutes.
- Yes. Examples include the Yo-Yo™ Series (weight-and-cable style continuous measurement) and solutions like guided wave radar (e.g., TDR2000 referenced by distributors).
- As a rule: choose rotary paddle for many free-flowing dry bulk solids and simple point detection; choose capacitance/RF when you need adjustable sensitivity and broader material detection needs. Then confirm based on material properties, dust, moisture, temperature, and mounting constraints.
- Many rotary paddle level switches are designed for quick installation with minimal calibration due to their mechanical operation; specific setup requirements vary by model and application.
