BinMaster Delivers a Safer, Smarter Mine
You're faced with the challenges of maximizing process efficiency, meeting production quotas, and keeping your equipment operational, while also protecting the environment and keeping your staff safe. BinMaster level sensors, software, wireless networks, and aeration and flow products help ease you through your digital transformation. Our experts work with you to understand your challenges and apply technology to create safer, smarter, and more sustainable mining operations. BinMaster experts arm you with solutions to achieve production goals, reduce downtime, prevent safety incidents, and reduce inefficiencies in your mining operations.
Benefits of Level Sensors & Inventory Systems
Worker Safety & Productivity
Reduce risk of injury and increase employee efficiency with automation. Continuous level sensors eliminate the need to climb to measure storage silos. Point-level sensors prevent overfilling silos. No labor is needed to monitor inventory levels.
Accurately Measure Materials
Mined materials such as alumina and bentonite can pile irregularly in storage silos. A single-level measurement may cause inaccurate reporting of inventory levels. 3D level scanners can measure and map the topography of material and report accurate volumes of stored materials.
Large or Multiple Sites
Mining operations can span miles. Inventory in storage silos at any site can be viewed and monitored with one login to BinCloud. View your inventory of any material across all of your sites to see the big picture.
Remote Monitoring
Mines spread out for miles, multiple storage and distribution locations … BinMaster can connect remote locations using wireless solutions connected to cloud software. Anywhere there’s internet, there’s inventory.
Optimize Storage
Know the level in any silo or tank at any time. Ensure all capacity is fully utilized and production materials such as water, chemicals, or sand are in plentiful supply.
Reduce Risk
Level sensors eliminate the need for hazardous climbing of storage vessels for inventory monitoring.
Waste Control
Stay in compliance with accurate reporting of waste material or process effluent to stay within regulatory requirements.
Transportation
BinMaster inventory software can help you manage logistics, whether you haul product away in trucks or load it into railcars.
Mined materials measured by BinMaster
Bentonite: This clay is used in the production of diverse industrial materials. It’s used in drilling mud and in fertilizers and pesticides as a binder, absorbent, purifier, or carrier.
Alumina: Not only for aluminum metal, but it is also a smelting material. It is also used as a filler for plastics, in glass making, refractories, cement, and abrasives.
Lithium: Mined from crushed rock and salt-flat brines, it’s used by producers of batteries, ceramics, glass, and lubricating greases. It’s key to rechargeable batteries, electric vehicles, and grid power storage.
Lime: Commonly used in agriculture to reduce soil acidity and improve crop output. It’s also used as a filler in chemicals, paints, paper, plastics, rubber, and glass. It’s also in toothpaste and a food additive.
Gypsum: This soft sulfate mineral is a naturally occurring hydrated calcium sulfate used in construction materials, drywall, wallboard, plaster, and ceiling tiles. Blackboards and chalk also contain gypsum.
Frac Sand: Used to extract oil and gas from underground rock, “fracking” operations use fine particulates of frac sand along with water in the hydraulic fracturing process.
Automated inventory optimizes mining
Storage silos
Accurately measure levels in silos containing ores, aggregate, sand, and difficult-to-measure materials like alumina powder or bentonite. BinMaster has sensors that detect piling, work in extreme dust, and noise.
Rock crushers
Maintaining proper levels is important to avoid clogging or damaging the crusher. Use level sensors in both the primary and secondary crushers to ensure rock is processed to the proper size specification.
Additive storage
Measure solid, powder, or liquid additives in storage, stirring pump tanks, or reactors. Safely store flotation reagents, flocculants, coagulants, soda ash, lime, and activated carbon.
Conveyor belts
Visibility of materials can lead to automated processes like vendor managed inventory. Share CementView with suppliers and provide rules for ordering materials.
Liquid tanks
Chemicals, additives, thickeners, and coolants in storage and pump tanks require continuous level measurement and point-level detection. Get accurate reporting of levels in tanks of essential, toxic, or hazardous materials.
BinMaster level sensors and software for mining help you manage inventory from extraction to storage, processing, and distribution. Get a reliable wireless network that saves money on installation and accurate, anywhere inventory for BinMaster.
How does BinMaster help improve mining operations?
BinMaster solutions provide enhanced inventory data with increased automation and reduced labor. Inventory is accessible anytime, anywhere, to mine managers, mining maintenance, mine buyers, logistics managers, drivers, mine workers, and field crews with a single login for every material, silo, and site.
How do BinMaster solutions keep mining workers happy?
- Keeps workers connected with real-time data collection
- Prevents process downtime due to material shortages
- User-friendly technology for all departments and levels
- Configurable displays so people see what they need
- Puts all workers on the same page with the same information
How will BinCloud inventory software help my mining operation?
- Simplification of reporting and inventory management
- Oversight of the supply, storage, and accessibility of materials
- Accurate forecasting for scheduling of shipping and logistics
- Ensure optimal stock levels, reduce waste, and improve efficiency
- Timely supply, cost control, and fast order fulfillment
- Meeting corporate demand and quotas while controlling costs
Inventory software for the mining industry
Binventory
Binventory controller software with its graphical display and inventory history is for mining operations that want inventory served and stored on a local network versus the cloud.
BinView
Any mining operation with internet access that wants inventory to be up-to-date and accurate, with everyone sharing the same information and reporting.
Continuous & Point Level Sensors for Mining
Videos for mining operations
A point-level switch or point-level indicator alerts when material stored in a silo reaches a high or low point. The switch is wired to an alarm, light, or control panel.
BinMaster NCR-86 is THE radar for solids or liquids. Measure storage silos or water or liquid chemical tanks with continuous level updates. NCR-86 works reliably outdoors, in high dust, excessive temperatures, and noise.
Compact non-contact radar level sensors measure liquids or slurries in vessels less than 98 feet tall. Use them in smaller tanks or silos or other small storage vessels.
Cloud inventory management of raw materials, WIP, and finished goods at multiple mine locations across a wide geography with a single login.
BinMaster level sensors and BinCloud software eliminate climbing ladders to measure silos, crushers, and tanks. Get all your inventory info in one convenient report accessed from a phone, tablet, or PC.
