Diaphragm Level Switch

Diaphragm Level Switch

A diaphragm level switch is a type of pressure switch used to detect Low or Hi Levels in silos/bins containing dry, nonhazardous free flowing materials. Diaphragm switch works by activating a sensitive micro-switch when material reaches the level of the switch in the Silo / bin. Output switch can be used to start or stop a process or alert to a high, medium, or lowlevel detection.
