Non-Contact Sensors Swoop Cement Data to You

Cement managers find workplace injuries akin to kryptonite. Like superheroes, they’re ready to rid their world of danger.

These manufacturers know the challenges of bulk materials in the industry, including exposure to harsh ingredients. According to the Centers for Disease Control, if not careful, people can experience health complications including eye, skin, and respiratory disorders. Climbing bins and silos to measure what’s inside just doesn't make sense. 

BinMaster non-contact level sensors can help, measuring levels in a silo via 3D Scanners, laser, or radar technologies to ensure accurate monitoring of product levels.

3D Level Sensor for Multiple Containers in Food Processing

As the only sensor to measure and map the material surface, BinMaster’s 3DLevelScanner takes multiple level measurements to account for uneven surface topography in bins, tanks, and silos. Each sensor comes with 3DVision software that reports the lowest and highest points detected, plus a weighted average of all measurements in the bin.

This results in highly accurate volume calculations and better inventory visibility, ensuring bulk materials are accounted for and can be ordered proactively.

Detect Tiniest Trickles for FSMA Compliance

The flow of powders and small granules through a system can be difficult to detect. From adhesion and cohesion of the material, particle size, roughness, and other aspects of the material, operators are left wondering if the material is, indeed, flowing.

Bulk solids are prevalent in every industry—from cement to feed manufacturing and many in between. Both must closely watch the formulation of ingredients as they are conveyed from multiple bins and silos. Flow or no-flow indicators can help make the process simpler and more accessible.

BinMaster Perfect for Flour, Sugar Storage

The baking industry knows all too well that every pound of ingredient counts towards the bottom line. Changing production lines cannot take long. Clean-ups and start-ups all pull production from the bottom line. Product shortages cannot be tolerated.

BinMaster's 3DLevelScanner sensor continuously monitors ingredient inventory in silos so managers aren't caught off guard by silo wall buildup or uneven topography. Inventory levels can be sent to a cloud report to maximize ordering and optimize ingredient reloading practices.
