Why SITRANS LPS200?

The SITRANS LPS200 rotary paddle level switch delivers reliable point level detection for bulk solids in harsh industrial environments. Its rugged design, advanced safety options and wide range of paddles, extensions and process connections help ensure dependable performance across extreme temperatures, varying material densities and demanding applications.

Key benefits

Reliable operation in harsh conditions

Accurately detects bulk solids in challenging environments, including high temperatures, dust, buildup and varying material densities. Designed for long‑term performance with minimal unplanned downtime.

Low maintenance, long service life

A friction clutch protects the motor from damage, while automatic motor shutoff during alarms reduces wear. Five points ingress protection further extends service life in abrasive or dirty processes.

Flexible to fit your application

Multiple paddle styles, rigid or cable extensions, and rotatable enclosures allow easy adaptation to diverse installations, material types and mounting orientations without complex customization.

Featured capabilities

Advanced safety and monitoring options

Optional SIL2-certified configurations, pulse-sense rotation monitoring, and fail‑safe operation provide enhanced protection for personnel and equipment. These features help detect rotation failures early and support compliance in safety‑critical bulk solids applications.

Designed for extreme process conditions

Built to withstand temperatures above 600 °C and demanding solid materials, SITRANS LPS200 offers robust construction and five points of ingress protection. It performs reliably in silos, bins and hoppers with heavy buildup or abrasive media.

Practical, installer friendly design

Field‑mountable electronics, a rotatable enclosure and easily replaceable paddles simplify installation and servicing. Hinged vane options and compact process connections support low‑density materials and space‑constrained installations.
