Teflon-coated level sensor is undaunted by sticky powders
BinMaster
The Teflon-coated sphere used in the SmartBob level sensor (photo) is designed for applications handling sticky powders and other bulk solids, or those that are prone to static cling (such as silica, fracking sand, minerals, powdered chemicals, additives and ingredients). By resisting product buildup on the sensor probe, this device helps to reduce maintenance needs while ensuring accurate, reliable level sensing in bins, tanks and silos. The sensor probe is automatically dropped to the material surface. When it makes contact with the surface, it immediately retracts, calculating the measurement from the top of the silo to the material surface. The device is compatible with the company’s Binventory software, BinView remote-data monitoring web application and C-100 display console, to help operators manage the data. — BinMaster, Lincoln, Neb.
