BinMaster's VRX series of vibrating probes is the company's latest innovation in level measurement. Built for durability and reliability in BinMaster's signature red housing, the VRX is engineered to provide dependable point-level detection for powders and bulk solids—even under the most demanding industrial conditions.

A highly visible, on-board status indicator light changes from green to red when the probe changes from an uncovered to a covered condition. This provides for quick visual confirmation of operation, facilitates fast troubleshooting, and enhances process efficiency through immediate feedback. The use of this easy-to-monitor level sensor can result in downtime reduction, fewer errors, and simplified communication.
The VRX series features a comprehensive lineup of advanced models that utilize a piezoelectric element, which vibrates until material contact dampens the signal, triggering a DPDT relay to alert operators to a "full" or "empty" condition. Designed for high accuracy, minimal maintenance, and resistance to buildup, the VRX sensors offer an ideal solution for light, low-dielectric, or difficult-to-measure materials.
VRX standard vibrating probes are now offered with either 1-1/2" or a new 1-1/4" NPT mounting option. Models include the VRX21 with a compact, sword-shaped blade with 7.37" insertion—ideal for bins and hoppers. The VRX31 is a sanitary model with 2" tri-clover fitting for food and pharma use. The high-temperature VRX61 model is for environments up to 500 °F.
Extended VRX Probes include the VRX41 with a rigid pipe extension up to 13', ideal for deep vessels and plugged chute detection. The VRX51 utilizes a flexible cable-extended probe (up to 19') that resists damage from falling material, while the VRX71 is for high-temperature environments.
BinMaster's VRX vibrating probe line combines immediate status notification, versatility, and rugged construction in challenging materials—providing an alternative to a rotary level indicator in agriculture, mining, plastics, cement, food, and more.
