Selection
of
Point Level Measurement Technology Made Easy
Elburn,
IL. — Never before has finding the right
point level instrument for solids, liquids or slurries
been so easy.
Monitor
Technologies Point Level Interactive Product Guide is a useful
reference tool not to be missed. This six CD multi-media
guide assists you in selecting the most suitable point level
instrument for a specific application, and avoid the cost
and wasted man hours associated with misapplication.
The
first CD features a unique question and answer software program
that allows users to describe a specific level measurement
application. This software uses your answers to compute and
display the point level product(s) suited for your specific
application need. The user is then directed to the applicable
product guide for further examination of the technology selected.
The
interactive product guides, CD2-CD5, are devoted to Rotary
Paddle, RF Capacitance, Vibratory and Mechanical point level
instruments. To learn more about a product simply insert
the appropriate CD and you will be able to view information
such as how the device works, typical applications, features,
installation tips, and key specifications. All interactive
product guides contain product literature, contact information,
and a link to the Monitor website.
All
the information contained on the first 5 CDs will be condensed
and included on the final sixth CD. CD6 will include new
features, such as the ability to create a product code and
email a “Request For Quotation” to Monitor.
The Interactive Product Guide is a part of Monitor’s SecureCareSM customer
service. SecureCare is unequaled education, service, and support that provide
durable instrumentation having the lowest total cost of ownership. Each interactive
product guide contains a presentation on SecureCare and the philosophy behind
our excellent customer service.
You
can obtain your free copy of the Point Level Interactive
Product Guide by contacting Monitor directly, or contacting
any local Monitor sales representative. Initial shipments
will include a jewel case of four CDs for convenient storage.
User registration in required to ensure delivery of CD5 and
CD6.
Elburn,
IL. — Monitor’s Flo-Pad bin aerator
promotes the flow of any dry bulk powder or granular material
from bins, hoppers and silos. Such materials are highly aerated
when entering the storage vessels, and flow quite easily
entering the vessel by pneumatic or gravity feed. After being
in storage for a time, the air escapes and allows the material
to pack, and behave more like a solid mass than a fluid mixture.
Flo-Pad uses multiple Evassers mounted on a single air plenum
chamber to create multi-directional air release and re-fluidize
stored material.
Flo-Pad
is virtually maintenance free and does not create noise or
damaging vibration, like pneumatic or electric actuated vibrating
devices. The Evassers have a standard neoprene boot that is
designed to prevent material backflow. In addition, the Evassers
are less likely to become clogged due to moisture, as are aerators
that use cotton or canvas to diffuse the air.
Flo-Pads
can be used for virtually any application. They are available
in 18 in. (457 mm) and 60 in. (1524 mm) sizes, having 8 and
28 Evassers respectively. The most effective aeration of dry
bulk materials is typically achieved by use of multiple rows
of Flo-Pads, one row located in each quadrant of the sloping
vessel bottom. Flo-Pad maintains a constant 2 to 5 psi (0.14
to 0.35 bar) supply of air. Units are also available for higher
pressures of up to 80 psi (5.5 bar), to dislodge and move highly
settled materials, and for high temperature applications.

bin aeration products.
The
SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design
detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability
to function. The analysis 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 consequences of unknown sensor
failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure
and confirmation of proper operation.
Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction,
motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off
cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous
location models)
A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true"
fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a
catastrophic process problem.
