Resin Silos
Non-contact radar level sensors continuously measure resin levels. Compact designs allow easy installation, Bluetooth configuration, and precise aiming using adjustable mounts.
Plastic Resin Inventory Management
BinMaster helps plastics manufacturers and recyclers accurately monitor bulk plastic resins, pellets, powders, flakes, and regrind stored in silos, hoppers, and process vessels.
Automated level sensors and inventory software deliver real-time resin inventory data to a phone or PC, helping reduce carrying costs, prevent material shortages, and support vendor-managed inventory programs across single or multi-site operations.
Digitize Plastic Resin Inventory
Bulk Inventory Systems for Plastics Processing
Accurate resin inventory is critical to uninterrupted molding, extrusion, and compounding operations. BinMaster level sensors continuously measure material stored in silos and automatically report inventory levels for real-time visibility.
Measure Resin Through Dusty Conditions
Dusty plastic processing environments require non-contact measurement. Radar level sensors ignore dust and buildup to provide reliable readings of pellets, powders, and regrind without contacting the material.
Multiple Silos and Locations, One Platform
Monitor one silo or thousands across multiple plants. BinMaster inventory systems scale easily and provide centralized reporting to support smarter purchasing, production planning, and logistics decisions.
Human-Centric Inventory Software
Sensors collect data. Software organizes information. People make decisions. BinMaster software presents clear, actionable inventory data for purchasing, operations, and supply chain teams.
Benefits of Digital Resin Inventory Monitoring
Real-time inventory data helps plastics processors buy and replenish resin at the right time to protect margins.
Avoid production shutdowns due to empty silos or hoppers with continuous resin level monitoring.
Eliminate manual inventory tracking and spreadsheets. Manage silo capacity for incoming deliveries and reduce overstocking of slow-moving resins.
Scale your inventory management system from one silo to enterprise-wide systems.
Automated, 24/7 resin inventory measurements reduce labor and improve workplace safety.
Accurate data is shared across departments, allowing for better demand forecasting by resin type and usage trends. Get access to resin locations by silo and facility.
Uses for Sensors in Plastics Operations
Inventory Monitoring
Level sensors prevent resin runouts and overfills in silos and tanks. Get alerts before production is impacted.
Conveyors and Feeders
Non-contact radar sensors and tilt switches detect empty or overloaded conveyors, reducing downtime.
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Vibrating rods, rotary paddles, and flow detection sensors confirm the presence, absence, and flow of material in hoppers and conveying lines.
Batch and Flow Control
Verify additives are flowing into the process and stop flow at the correct time to maintain batch accuracy.
Truck and Railcar Scheduling
Know how many loads are on hand. Optimize delivery schedules. Support vendor-managed inventory with shared, real-time data.
Plastics Industry Applications
Polymer Production
Facilities producing polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, polystyrene, and PET rely on accurate monitoring of liquids, powders, and solids to maintain steady production.
Plastics Recycling
Grinding, washing, melting, and pelletizing processes depend on consistent material availability. BinMaster sensors provide continuous level measurement to support recycling operations.
Receivers & Hoppers
Injection molding & extrusion systems use pneumatic conveying. Flow detection sensors, vibrating rods, and capacitance probes verify material presence and movement in process vessels.
