Sitrans LPS200 is a rotary paddle switch for point level detection in bulk solids. The paddle switch technology detects full, empty or demand conditions on cement. It can handle bulk densities as low as 15 g/l (2.19 lb/ft?) with the optional hinged vane or 100 g/l (6.25 lb/ft?) with the standard measuring vane. A low revolution geared motor with slip clutch drives a rotating measuring vane, which senses the presence of the material at the mounted level of the LPS200. As material comes into contact with the rotating paddle, rotation stops, which changes the microswitch state. When the paddle is no longer covered by material, rotation resumes and the relay reverts to its normal condition. The LPS200 has a rugged design for use in harsh conditions in the solids industry. The sensitivity of the paddle can be adjusted for varying material properties. The LPS200 comes in a variety of configurations including compact, extended and cable extension. It is equipped with a standard vane, which is effective in most applications, but can be configured with a hinged or rectangular vane for increased sensitivity for light weight materials.

The American Cement Association projects a nearly 1Mt annual increase in US cement demand over the next three years, driven by the surge in AI data centres. Consumption by data centres is expected to grow from 247,000 tonnes in 2025 to 860,000 tonnes by 2027. With over 5,400 AI data centres currently operating and numbers forecast to exceed 6,000 by 2027, the association cautions that regulatory hurdles and labour shortages may impact the industry’s ability to meet demand.
