Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from process engineers and buyers across South India about UWT level sensors.

IJ Instruments is a dealer and channel partner for UWT GmbH Germany in South India. We supply Rotonivo rotary paddle switches, Vibranivo vibrating fork sensors, NivoRadar radar sensors, Capanivo capacitive sensors and NivoBob electromechanical sensors across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala. Call +91 99592 44911 for pricing and availability.
The UWT Rotonivo rotary paddle level switch is used for point level detection in bulk solids — powders, granules, pellets, grain, cement, fly ash, sand, coal and similar materials in silos, hoppers, bins and screw conveyors. It detects full level (overflow alarm), demand level and empty level alarms. The motor-driven rotating paddle slows down and stops when covered by material, triggering the switching output. It is the most popular and most widely used level switch for bulk solids in India.
For point level detection (full/empty alarm) in cement silos — the Rotonivo RN 3001 or RN 4000 (extended shaft) rotary paddle switch is the standard choice. For continuous level measurement (inventory monitoring) in cement silos — the NivoRadar NR 3300 (80 GHz lens antenna radar) is recommended because it is non-contact and unaffected by cement dust, angle of repose or temperature changes. For very tall silos (up to 70m), the NivoBob electromechanical plumb bob sensor is also a proven option.
The Vibranivo® is a vibrating fork (two-tine) level switch primarily for liquids — the fork frequency shifts when immersed in liquid. The Mononivo® is a single vibrating rod level switch for fine-grained bulk solids and powders — flour, fine cement, sugar, milk powder, talc. Both are point level switches but suited to different media. For liquid level detection, choose Vibranivo. For fine powder detection, choose Mononivo.
Yes — ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 certified versions are available for Rotonivo (rotary paddle), Mononivo, Vibranivo and Capanivo sensor families. These are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in chemical plants, petrochemical refineries, paint factories and similar hazardous locations. Contact IJ Instruments for ATEX model selection and availability in South India.
