Reliable Point-Level Detection in a Small Sensor
A farmer named Jeff was looking for an alternative to the proximity sensors he was using in his seed storage bins. This sensor needed to work reliably in seasonal temperature changes, use the existing fittings, and not break his budget. BinMaster's MCP-200 mini-capacitance probe may be just what Jeff is searching for.
The compact sensor for light solids and powders detects changes in capacitance. This change is caused by the presence or absence of material using the difference or variation between the capacitance of the sensor and material being detected. Capacitive technology is well-suited for applications with temperature fluctuations; its performance remains stable despite environmental changes.
The MCP-200 features an IO-Link connection and wireless Bluetooth setup, simplifying sensor setup and making integration easy with PLCs or existing control systems. It is easily programmed from a phone, tablet, or PC using Bluetooth. The sensor is extremely versatile, offering optional explosion-proof and FDA approvals and an assortment of small fittings and hygienic connectors. The MCP-200 is offered in custom configurations and is available with short lead times.
Use the MCP-200 point level detector for monitoring and process control in tanks, vessels, hoppers, or feeders, or to monitor pipelines. It is useful in industries like food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, seed companies, and agriculture or aquaculture use. It can also be used for level detection of plastics and resins, wooden materials and paper, or glass.
In process control, the MCP-200 can detect when a hopper is empty to avoid outages that could lead to improper batching or undue wear on equipment.
Compact Size. Full Performance.
With protection ratings of IP66/IP67 and IP69, a process temperature range of -40° to 239°F, and a process pressure range of -1 to 25, MCP-200 sensors are versatile enough to fit many industrial environments. A long service life is assured with wetted-part construction of stainless steel, PEEK plastic, and a FKM seal for chemical and weather resistance.
Visual alerts via a colorful LED status indicator make the sensor great (and exciting!) for monitoring levels in bins or hoppers. Configurable color settings give plants the ability to customize alerts to any color on the spectrum.
Be like Jeff. Get the BinMaster MCP-200 for low-cost level detection in light bulk solids in ordinary, sanitary, and hazardous locations.
Have fluid inventory, too? We also offer the MCP-100 for use in tanks containing liquids.
