Reliable Performance in Tough Bulk Solid Applications

The SITRANS LPS200 is built to withstand the challenges of bulk solid applications, reliably detecting full, empty, or demand conditions in materials like grain, feed, cement, and wood chips.

Its robust design, equipped with a high-integrity mechanical seal and available in high-temperature and high-pressure models, ensures lasting performance under extreme conditions.

The unique friction clutch mechanism protects internal components by preventing damage if the paddle encounters sudden resistance, while rotation failure monitoring alerts operators if the paddle stops unexpectedly.

Additionally, its optional fail-safe feature ensures that any fault or power loss triggers an alert, providing extra reliability in critical operations.

Hassle-Free Maintenance for Reliable Operation

The SITRANS LPS200 is designed to be low-maintenance, with no regular upkeep needed under typical operating conditions. In cases where severe conditions lead to material buildup on the measuring vane, occasional cleaning may be required. To clean, gently brush off any accumulated deposits, ensuring the vane remains straight and undamaged. Any repairs or modifications to the device must be conducted by qualified personnel, adhering to relevant safety standards. It’s essential that only Siemens-approved replacement parts are used, and faulty components should be replaced, not reused, to ensure continued reliability and performance.
