The switching action is activated at approximately 20–30 degrees of tilt. Extensive computer simulations have shown that, in typical chute applications, the device experiences tilt in the range of 70–90 degrees, meaning the direct opening action is engaged well before full tilt occurs—ensuring reliable and timely response.

Built for Harsh Environments

The Safe-T-Tilt is specifically designed to withstand the harsh rigours of chute environments, where physical impact and environmental exposure are constant challenges. It is enclosed in a super heavy-duty, electropolished 316 stainless steel tube, featuring a custom-designed protective cap that shields the Ex-rated cable gland. This ensures maximum protection against rogue rock impacts, environmental ingress, and mechanical wear-preserving the functionality and integrity of the device in the field.

Proven Performance in Real-World Conditions

To validate its performance, the Safe-T-Tilt has undergone extensive simulation testing under conditions involving lump iron ore, fines iron ore, and sugar pulp. These simulations have confirmed both the operational effectiveness and optimal mounting positions for the device in real-world material flow scenarios, ensuring consistent and dependable operation.

Why SAFE-T-TILT Stands Apart

Most traditional tilt switches rely on outdated or non-compliant mechanisms, such as:

• Mercury-style switches, which operate by shifting a pool of liquid mercury to close contacts. These are not direct opening and present a toxic hazard on-site.
• Conventional mechanical tilt switches, which keep a micro switch engaged until tilted, allowing the actuator to move away and break contact. This approach is the opposite of direct opening and does not meet protective stop standards.

True Direct Opening Safety

The Safe-T-Tilt features a precision-engineered plunger system that actively forces open the contacts of its direct opening micro switches when tilted. This creates a mechanically linked, fail-safe disconnection, guaranteeing that a true protective stop control function is triggered in the event of hazardous tilt or machine displacement.
