How is it different from other technologies?
The 3DLevel Scanner measures multiple-points in the bin to improve volume accuracy: By measuring and mapping the material surface at multiple points and providing minimum, maximum and average distances the 3DLevelScanner calculates a volume estimate that is more accurate than radar or ultrasonic devices. The 3DLevelScanner detects sidewall buildup and bridging as well as cone up or cone down.
Many materials generate excessive amounts of dust making it difficult for technologies such as radar or ultrasonic to provide accurate readings. The low frequency technology employed by the 3DLevelScanner penetrates dust and provides a highly accurate volume measurement in even extreme conditions.
The 3DLevelScanner employs an acoustics-based technology, so there is no equipment coming into contact with the surface of the material as there is with a radar-on-a-rope device. This eliminates the risk of equipment breaking off or becoming trapped in material and potentially causing damage to sweepers or conveyors in the bottom of the silo.
