BinMaster 3DLevelScanner

BinMaster 3DLevelScanner

The BinMaster 3DLevelScanner is the only level sensor that measures multiple points on a material’s surface, providing 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 contained in bins, silos, domes, warehouses, as well as open bunkers and piles. Unique 3D mapping capabilities provide a visual representation of bin contents, detecting cone up or down as well as sidewall buildup.

Description

How 3D Level Scanning Works

BinMaster 3DLevelScanner uses acoustic-based technology. Three transducers send very low frequency sound waves to the material surface. The sensor received echoes back from multiple points on the surface which are converted to distance measurements. Advanced algorithms in the software assign each measurement an XYZ coordinate that is mapped into a 3D image. The software generates a graphical representation of the material topography in the bin.

Features & Benefits

  • Reliable operation and level measurement in suspended dust
  • Only level sensor to detect surface variations
  • Considers irregular material topography in calculating volume
  • No risk of contamination or interference with equipment inside the bin
  • Detects and alerts to excessive piling that could stress silo walls
  • No air purge needed for self-cleaning transducers that resist dusty buildup

Model Selection Guide

Model M maps and measures within a 70° beam angle. It reports the highest, lowest, and average level in the bin. 3DVision software provides highly accurate level and volume data.

  • Use in bins up to 200’ tall
  • Does not include 3D visualization
  • Best for wide bins, taller than they are wide

Model MV has all the capabilities of Model M, but also generates a 3D representation of the material surface. Operations that work with materials that bridge, rat hole, or build up along bin walls may prefer to add 3D imagery.

  • Use in bins up to 200’ tall
  • Includes 3D visualization
  • Best for wide bins, taller than they are wide
