Industry Standard Point Level Indicator Is "Technician Friendly"
Elburn,
IL –When installing, or performing maintenance on, your chosen rotary paddle bin level indicator have you ever had to juggle the cover and several bolts? Now, you don't have to. The "technician friendly" Model KA/KAX from Monitor Technologies incorporates an industry leading screw-on cover, easy access to power and output terminals along with two conduit entrances, and provides reliable operation for high or low level indication of whole or processed grains and feed materials. Using state-of-the-art rotating paddle technology, the KA/KAX employs the industry-first motor shutoff feature that extends the life of the motor beyond that of units that simply stall the motor when material impeded the paddle. That means your KA/KAX from Monitor will last longer.
The combination of being longer lasting and easier to work with means that the Model KA/KAX from Monitor Technologies is the best choice and highest value of rotary paddle bin level indicator on the market today. In addition, its high temperature version will allow for operation with process temperatures up to 750 degrees F. In addition, the Model KAX is suitable form Class 1 and 2 hazardous locations, while the KA is suitable for use in general purpose Ordinary Locations only.

SiloPatrol® SE Measuring coal powder levels when nothing else will work ….
Coal-fired power plants are commonplace around the
world. In order for these power generating stations to create
huge amounts of electricity the turbines need to be feed with steam
and the steam created by boilers that are fired by … yep,
coal. But coal as it comes from the mining operations is not
what is fed to the burners. First it is ground or pulverized
into powder. It is not unusual for the coal powder to be stored
in silos awaiting the demand for it to be fed to the burners. The
inventory of coal powder in these silos needs to be monitored to
allow for efficient operation of the power plant.
So, how do we monitor the inventory of coal powder in a silo? Not
easily. In one typical application the power plant personnel
found that the only technology that would work reliably is the modern
smart weight & cable system from Monitor Technologies LLC, the
SiloPatrol® SE.
Anhui Tongling power plant in Anhui province in China had tried
almost ever technology possible to get a reliable level measurement
in their 5 coal powder silos. Radar, ultrasonic and others
were tried, but none worked reliably. It wasn’t until
Beijing Conasen walked in and proposed that the Tongling plant use
the SiloPatrol SE smart cable-based inventory monitoring system that
the power plant personnel found a reliable solution.
Mr. William Yuan, sales manager for Beijing Conasen indicates that
the power plant tried many major brands of ultrasonic, radar, and
other technologies but that due to good relations with the Tongling
plant personnel he was able to sell three SiloPatrol SE model SMU
sensors and an HMI operator interface to them. The units were
installed by plant personnel. Because of the heavy amount of
coal dust in the silos an air purge using dry compressed air was
used. The SiloPatrol sensor incorporates the patent-pending
use of Hall-effect sensor technology, a split-compartment enclosure,
microcontroller, redundant optics and many other valuable features
and technology to ensure reliable measurement even in challenging
dust applications like coal powder.
The SiloPatrol SE system has been working reliably and the plant
has since purchased two additional sensors and connected them into
the same HMI operator interface. This same sensor technology
is working reliably at other coal-fired power stations in China as
well.
