BinMaster Non-Contact Radar: A Level Sensor for Every Industry
For industries that utilize storage vessels for their bulk materials, monitoring their levels is crucial to ensuring reliable and productive operations. Having accurate information allows processes to be optimized and ensure that production is maximized. Providing accurate information is what makes BinMaster’s non-contact radar level indicators a go to solution to a wide range of industries. In this article we will cover how non-contact radars have been used across a wide range of industries to help improve their inventory level monitoring.
Non-Contact Radar Level Indicators
Non-contact radar level indicators are an innovative method of being able to monitor the amount of material in a storage vessel without having to climb and put eyes on the materials. These level indicators are powerful, versatile, and tough.
General specifications:
- Measuring distance up to 393 feet
- 3° beam angle for precise targeting
- Reliable accuracy within 0.04”/1 mm
- Temperatures up to 482° F
- CSA, ATEX, UKEX, IEC approvals
- BinDisc with Bluetooth setup option
Industries that have utilized non-contact radar level indicators:
Grain, Feed & Petfood
- Bins with ladders or internal structure to avoid
- Bins where the sensor must mount near the bin wall
- Targeted locations on grain piles or flat storage warehouses
- Measuring corn and DDG storage silos
- On large conveyors for distance measurement to detect overloading
- Rendering operations, measuring feather or bonemeal
Cement & Asphalt
- Clinker silos with excessive noise
- Segmented cement grain bins with multiple compartments
- Asphalt storage with hot temperatures
- Finished cement silos with excessive dust
- Over moving belts and conveyors to prevent overloading
- Inside rock crushers to monitor filling and emptying
Food Processing
- Flour, sugar, and salt silos
- Dry ingredients and malted grains
Plastic Pellets or Powders
- For narrow resin silos with high volume turnover
- In low dielectric materials or materials with limited reflectivity
Sand & Aggregates
- Sand or aggregate silos with excessive dust or noise
- Mounted over piles or pits for level detection
- Inside rock crushers to monitor filling and emptying
Wood Chips or Pellets
- Detecting level of materials with varying dielectrics and moisture levels
- Performs in high steam environments
Power Plants
- Monitoring level in coal bunkers and feeders to ensure continuous supply
- Detecting levels in surge bins and on conveyor belts Biofuels
- Dry or wet milling bin monitoring
Water & Wastewater
- Sewage treatment where material characteristics vary
- Levels in sumps, tanks, stormwater drains, and open waterways
