From the outside in, choosing between a point or continuous level sensor can be pretty daunting. Not to mention the process of narrowing down sensors in either category! Leave it to us at BinMaster to help you learn the ins and outs of level measurement sensor options.
Life would be so much simpler if you had a way to automate alerts when the milk in the fridge starts to run low. Behold an industrial solution to predicaments like these: the point level sensor!
Offering a simple-but-effective way to help your ROI thrive, point level sensors can save you from major messes like overflowing grain bins or delays in production. There’s a point level sensor for any solid, liquid or powder setup, but finding the perfect fit takes time, thought and research.
First: think of the size, position and layout of your vessel. This will help determine the mounting position of the sensor(s) you’ll install. High level indicators help maximize efficiency by allowing you to fill a vessel to capacity, while low level indicators make sure you’ll never be left in the dark when a material is running low.
Point level sensors can also be wired to start or stop a process based on material levels. Choosing fail-safe models give you an extra layer of protection in the case of outages.
BinMaster offers rotaries, capacitance probes, vibrating rods, diaphragm switches, and tilt switch level indicators as trustworthy point level monitoring solutions. Read this whitepaper to learn each sensor's individual pros, cons, and best applications.
Point level sensors are cool and all, but what if you want to consistently be informed of the levels in your bin, tank, silo or other vessel?
Meet continuous level 3D scanners, guided-wave and open-air radar, and weight-and-cable, laser, and ultrasonic sensors. These serve as a twenty-first-century-oriented answer to inventory management by utilizing digital display consoles and/or software accessible by PC or phone.
You’ll need to take many values into account while exploring continuous level options. How accurate and how often are you anticipating measurements? Are you seeking to measure solid, powders or liquids? Will your sensor be exposed to corrosive ingredients or chemicals?
BinMaster's continuous level sensor selection is vast and includes several cutting-edge technology. Read to learn more about our non-contact radar, 3D Level Scanner, SmartBob®, ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors, lasers, and guided wave radars.
