Bin Level Indicators & Flow Detectors

Point Level Indicators send an alert when the material reaches a particular level, helping to prevent bin overflow. Includes rotary paddles, capacitance probes, diaphragm switches, tilt level sensors, vibrating rods, and all related accessories.

Continuous bin level inventory management equipment will report bin status on a real-time basis, enabling just-in-time replenishment and optimal efficiency for operators. Technologies available include ultrasonic and radar bin level sensors, non-contact 3D scanners, cable-based bobs, and lasers. Applications include baking and snack ingredients, biofuels, cement and aggregates, chemicals, coal, wood products, fly ash, pharmaceuticals, plastics, pulp and paper, and salt and minerals.

Plugged chute detectors alert operators when the flow of a bulk solids chute is obstructed, using audio and visual signals. This alert lets you address the issue in a timely manner, and can be used in tandem with flow aid devices to keep your facility running efficiently.

Flow sensors and detectors alert users if the flow status of solids or powders changes, power is lost, or communication is interrupted. Systems consist of a remote sensor probe mounted in either a gravity chute, or feeder, and a control console mounted in an area accessible to users.
