Measuring Multiple Material Surface Points with the 3DLS M and MV 3D Level Sensor

Also known as a 3D Solids Scanner, BinMaster's 3DLevelScanner is the only level sensor which measures multiple points on a material's surface to give continuous, non-contact inventory volume measurement that accounts for irregular material topography.

This advanced acoustics-based technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids, which are contained in warehouses, silos, bins, domes, open bunkers and piles. Unique 3D mapping capabilities supply a visual representation of bin contents, detecting cone up or down and sidewall buildup.

Applications

Cement and aggregates

Grain, feed, seed and food processing

Powders, pellets, granulars and most other bulk solids

Tanks, bins and silos where the material surface has uneven topography

Metals and Mining

Ethanol, bioenergy and power plants

Paper, pulp and wood pellets

Chemical processing and plastics manufacturing

Features

Measuring range of up to 200 feet

Non-contact, continuous measurement

Supplies maximum, minimum and average distances

Performs in extreme levels of dust

Measures uneven powder or solid material surfaces

Detects cone up, cone down and sidewall buildup

Self-cleaning with minimal maintenance
