Prevent material buildup and compaction within bins, tanks, silos, and hoppers
Material Management & Flow Monitoring Devices
Material management devices ensure solids and powders behave properly during storage and processing. These technologies detect or improve material flow to help plant operations and supply chains run efficiently.
BinMaster offers flow/no-flow monitoring and aeration devices that maintain consistent bulk material flow within bins, hoppers, chutes, and conveyors.
Monitor Material Flow and Prevent Process Interruptions
Flow detection devices help prevent process disruptions by indicating whether material is flowing or has stopped.
BinMaster flow detectors use Doppler technology to communicate flow or no-flow conditions to operators or control systems.
The compact, single-piece design installs flush with the vessel wall and operates non-intrusively, making it suitable for a wide range of bulk material handling applications.
Non-contact operation allows the sensor to detect the presence or absence of materials without interfering with the process.
Improve Bulk Material Handling Efficiency
By monitoring flow conditions and improving material movement, material management devices help facilities maintain consistent production and reduce operational issues.
Reduce production downtime caused by flow blockages
Detect flow or no-flow conditions in real-time to take immediate action in the case of error
Improve handling of bulk solids, granules, and powders
Prevent cross-contamination of different material flows
Support more efficient plant and supply chain operations
Promote Material Movement in Bins, Hoppers, and Silos
Material compaction and buildup inside vessels can slow production and create costly downtime.
BinMaster aeration devices help keep powders and solids flowing by introducing air to loosen packed materials and reduce bridging.
A bin aerator promotes material flow along vessel walls and in hopper cones. For difficult flow conditions, the Airbrator combines aeration with vibration to help dislodge compacted material.
Diffuser air pads distribute air evenly across the vessel wall, encouraging material to behave more fluidly for easier handling and discharge.
Customize a Comprehensive Inventory Solution
These devices are often used alongside level sensors and inventory monitoring systems to ensure that materials move reliably through every stage of storage, processing, and transport.
