May 2009: BINATROL®

Diaphragm Bin Level Switch

BINATROL® Diaphragm Bin Monitor Provides Economical, Reliable Point Level Detection

Monitor Technologies' BINATROL® diaphragm level switch is a durable, low maintenance and cost-effective way to monitor levels of powder and bulk solids in storage bins, silos, and vessels. The BINATROL can also be used to eliminate bin overflows and detect plugged or backed-up conveyor chutes for some applications.

The BIN-ATROL switch is flush mount and non-intrusive which makes it ideal for vessels limited in size or internal clearance or in situations where protrusion is not wanted. It can be used on either flat or curved surfaces. Typical material applications for BINATROL include: grain, seed, wood chips, sawdust, powders, cement and more.

The BINATROL unit can be installed, adjusted for sensitivity, and maintained from outside the vessel. All parts are accessible from outside the storage bin without having to remove the mounting flange.  The BINATROL is installed to allow its sensing diaphragm to be exposed to the material being detected.  Bulk material contacting the unit applies a pressure that is detected by the diaphragm.  This pressure detection activates an internal switch that is user accessible for signaling alarms or other methods to indicate material presence.  Also, BINATROL® diaphragm switches are mechanical devices that require no input power. 

Monitor offers a variety of diaphragm bin level indicators that can be configured with various switch sensitivities, diaphragm materials and approval ratings.

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.
