Search for Dry Material (Powders) Level Switches by specification

Dry material level switches are used to detect the level of dry materials, especially fly ash, cement, plastics, flour, powders, sand, grain, carbon black, and wood chips, along process lines, or in tanks or vessels. A probe within each dry material level switch is used to read the level of the media, and when a predetermined limit is reached, the switch snaps closed electronically.  This action allows the flow to maintain an appropriate rate by making sure that extra material does not clog the system.  When the media level drops below a second predetermined level, the switch opens, allowing the flow to continue.

Dry Material (Powders) Level Sensing Devices
Dry material (powders) level sensing devices are used to measure levels of solid, dry materials in either continuous or point values represented with various output options.
Level Sensors, All Types
Level sensors are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. There are two basic level-measurement types: continuous and point or multi-point.
Level Switches, All Types
Level switches, all types, is a generic search form for devices that are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action.
Level Transmitters
Level transmitters or level transducers are used to measure the level of a liquid or bulk solid material (as well as slurries) within a specified space. For each measurement, they provide an electrical output that is proportional to the input level.
Liquid Level Sensors
Liquid level sensors are used to detect liquid levels or interfaces between liquids such as oil and water or liquids and solids. 
Liquid Level Switches
Liquid level switches are used to detect specific liquid levels or interfaces between liquids. These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action.
