Also known as a 3D Solids Scanner, BinMaster's 3DLevelScanner is the only level sensor which measures multiple points on a material's surface to give continuous, non-contact inventory volume measurement that accounts for irregular material topography.
This advanced acoustics-based technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids, which are contained in warehouses, silos, bins, domes, open bunkers and piles. Unique 3D mapping capabilities supply a visual representation of bin contents, detecting cone up or down and sidewall buildup.
Applications
- Cement and aggregates
- Grain, feed, seed and food processing
- Powders, pellets, granulars and most other bulk solids
- Tanks, bins and silos where the material surface has uneven topography
- Metals and Mining
- Ethanol, bioenergy and power plants
- Paper, pulp and wood pellets
- Chemical processing and plastics manufacturing
Features
- Measuring range of up to 200 feet
- Non-contact, continuous measurement
- Supplies maximum, minimum and average distances
- Performs in extreme levels of dust
- Measures uneven powder or solid material surfaces
- Detects cone up, cone down and sidewall buildup
- Self-cleaning with minimal maintenance
- Communications include 4-20/HART, Modbus RTU, TCP/IP and RS-485
- Calculates highly accurate bin volume
