April 2009: SafePoint®

SafePoint Rotary Paddle Level Sensor

SafePoint® Rotary Paddle Point Level has Automatic Failure Indication

In the processing, production and storage of powders and bulk solids the reliable monitoring of high level conditions in bins and silos is important.  With the SafePoint® rotary paddle point level indicator, if a failure is detected an output will indicate that this condition exists, providing you the warning needed to prevent a spill.  If a level monitor fails to function properly, large costs due to overfilling of the silo can occur.  The costs can include material loss, cleanup, lost production and even regulatory costs. This is why the SafePoint® point level sensor from Monitor Technologies is the best choice for powder and bulk solid processors worldwide. 

The SafePoint detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability to function. This monitoring includes sensor health and system power failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”. The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-effect technology, dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health, and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids processing and storage from the effects of unknown sensor failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure and confirmation of proper operation. 

Other features of the SafePoint include rugged construction, twist On/Off cover for bolt free removal, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded, and local status indicating light (on most models).

Solids Flow Detection

Microwave solids flow detectors can be used in a variety of applications including feed mills & grain processing, consumer foods (cereal, sugar, cocoa, coffee), chemicals & pesticides and more. For example, one company uses Monitor’s Model SFD-2 solids flow detector to verify the flow of feed pellets through their various transport lines which involves a process where a horizontal screw auger is conveying pellets over to a vertical gravity chute.  The chute then directs the pellets to a process down below. They have carefully placed the SFD-2 so that it detects the pellets as they fall directly across the sensor face. (See Below)

Solids Flow_Pellet Application

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 plus extremely reliable and rugged to withstand the rigors of the installation and your process extremes. From automated systems with pneumatic lines to gravity chutes, solids flow monitors can help to improve process performance. They can assist in detecting flow problems, as well as, enhance the level of automation at a facility like turning a conveyor on or off.
