New RF Capacitance Level Control Boasts Universal Power Supply & Automatic Build-up Immunity
Elburn, IL: Monitor Technologies LLC is please to announce it’s TrueCap® Model MK2 RF capacitance point level sensor with advanced state-of-the-art features that is rugged and reliable enough to meet the needs of the feed and grain processing industries. The Model MK2 provides a universal power supply of 48-240VAC / 24-48VDC accepting any supplies that meet these specifications. In addition, the Model MK2 provides automatic immunity to product material build-up that can occur on the probe, pushbutton calibration and sensitivity selection as well as a built-in ambient temperature sensor that combines with the MK2’s microcontroller to provide automatic calibration compensation for the most stable and reliable RF capacitance point level sensor available today.
Monitor Technologies LLC continues to pioneer level measurement and bin level indication for the worldwide feed and grain processing markets. The experience and market knowledge gained over five decades has earned Monitor a reputation for producing products that are "engineered to be the best" and providing customer experience “far better than” other suppliers.

Why Use Solids Flow Monitors?
Assist in detecting problems & increasing automation
From complex automated systems with pneumatic lines
to straight-forward gravity chutes, solids flow monitors can help
to improve process performance. They are effective in detecting flow
problems, as well as enhancing the level of automation at a facility.
Solids flow monitors can assist in detecting problems in flow caused
by equipment failures, plugged lines, leaks, material bridges upstream,
low or no material, etc. They can also be used to add automation
to a process like opening or closing valves, turning a conveyor on
or off, and initiating a process function (spraying of a product
additive).
The Model SFI and SFD-2 line of solids flow detectors from Monitor
Technologies, LLC provide analog or relay outputs to indicate the
flow / no-flow condition of powder and bulk solids materials in chutes
and pneumatic conveying lines. Using microwave Doppler radar technology
these units are non-invasive and extremely reliable and rugged to
withstand the rigors of the installation and your process extremes.
Since there are no moving parts, these monitors can provide dependable,
low-maintenance service for many years.
Solids flow detectors like the Model SFI and SFD-2 can be used
in applications for a
variety of industries including construction materials (cement, sand,
gypsum, etc.), wood chips / sawdust, feed mills & grain processing,
consumer foods (cereal, coffee, sugar, cocoa, powdered milk, barley),
plastics, chemicals & pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and more.
One customer uses the analog signal from a Model SFI unit to monitor
the flow of carbon black in toner cartridge manufacturing to ensure
positive flow before further processing and to detect no-flow and
possible plugged conditions. Another company uses the Model SFD-2
solids flow detector to monitor the flow of coal into the burner
of a coal-fired power plant to detect no-flow conditions and ensure
safety.
Whether a solids flow monitor is used to detect problems, increase
automation or both,
the end result is a substantial long term cost
savings through: eliminating product waste,
cutting “downtime”, reducing employee time spent on watching
the processes or cleaning up spills/messes, increasing product quality
(reducing defective product), and decreasing maintenance time / replacement
costs on other methods of flow detection.
