As demand grows and trends balloon in the food & beverage industry, the pursuit of peak efficiency may feel never-ending. Compliance with health and safety standards continues to remain of the highest importance as plants expand and multi-national systems require robust remote monitoring software.
Non-contact level sensors from BinMaster provide a solution, offering the benefits of automated inventory tracking while avoiding direct contact with ingredients being monitored.
Consequences of chute blockages in the food industry include disrupted operations and significant losses in production, labor, and reputation. BinMaster’s Flow Detect, which is a mass flow detector; as well as capacitance probes, rotaries, and vibrating probes, to monitor bulk material flow, or no flow conditions.
German Engineering Federation statistics say that 75% of respondents in the industry faced chute blockages, resulting in a costly average downtime of six hours at $250,000 per incident. EHS Today underscores the link between manufacturing accidents and poorly maintained machinery, urging the food production sector to adopt preventive measures through advanced chute detection technologies and meticulous design strategies.
A simple login on a website app or Software as a Service (SaaS) program puts real-time data in front of workers who need it to make timely decisions. Remote monitoring software benefits include improved processing efficiency, smarter ordering, optimized delivery schedules, and reduced carrying costs. Monitoring bin levels while on-site or off-premises boosts visibility throughout the company. Automated high- or low-level alerts via text or email allow for proactive action that can add to a mill’s bottom line.
While big bins need big sensors, monitoring and measuring bulk materials in smaller storage and process vessels is just as critical. The food industry, water treatment plants, and pharmaceutical operations often mix ingredients in smaller amounts stored in tiny tanks and small silos.
Applications requiring compact point-level monitoring can utilize the MCP-100—as well as the rest of BinMaster's family of mini capacitance probes—for reliable alerts.
Worldwide vegetable oil production includes 25 varieties of vegetable oils, oilseeds, and fats. In fact, according to the International Association of Vegetable Oils, Ukraine and Russia are the top producers of sunflower oil.
Proper storage of beans, seeds, and nuts is important to maximize the quality of finished products. Equilibrium moisture content and relative humidity must be maintained when filling and emptying bins. BinMaster sensors and software provide bulk material measurements to keep adequate inventory in check.
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.
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.
From bulky cocoa beans to lightweight nibs and fluffy cocoa powder, the chocolate industry counts on massive silos—some more than 1,000 tons—to store raw materials headed to factories across the world.
BinMaster's 3DLevelScanner sensor can count it all. Its multi-point measurement technology "sees" through challenging materials to report current silo levels and volumes.
The cereal industry moves a lot of flour, sugar and grain. Supply chains must be agile to meet replenishment needs: ingredients must be fresh AND on time.
When inventory management is a must, BinMaster sensors and software answer the call! The 3DLevelScanner is well suited for fast-moving food processing operations—and it's only available at BinMaster.
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.
Now more than ever, manufacturers expect—and must navigate—volatile supply chains and pricing. Effective bulk material management begins with smart systems that make data easily accessible, which ultimately helps strengthen inventory control. Level sensors and software from BinMaster help...
