Mechanical connection:
There are models that can be mounted horizontally or vertically into the silo.
The standard form is mounting the device is by the thread G 1 " male and can be fixed using 1 or 2 nuts or introducing it into a threaded socket with a maximum of 25 mm length. If it is larger, the bulk goods have the possibility to deposit in the thread socket. This could provoke that the device becomes useless.
After the mounting is done, the housing could be turned in order to face the cable gland correctly.
The rotating measuring blade, projecting into the silo or container, is driven by a gearmotor. If the bulk material reaches the measuring blade, the rotation will be hindered and it will be stopped. The return torque turns the pivoted motor from its end position and actuates the signal switch. A second switch turns off the motor off.
If the filling level of the bulk material sinks, the blade becomes freely again and a spring will turn the motor back into its original end position. Thereby the motor will be turned on again and the signal switch will be switched back.
