BinMaster Standard 7-inch Vibrating Rod

The BinMaster Standard 7-inch Vibrating Rod (VR-21) is a piezoelectric driven vibration point level switch with a unique single-rod probe, a sword-shaped blade designed to prevent bridging of material. The VR-21 is suitable for top and side mount applications and is ideal for carbon black, plastics, fly ash, feed, seed, grain, food, chemicals, and extremely light, fluffy materials or materials with low dielectric constants.

Description

The unique design of the BinMaster Standard 7-inch Vibrating Rod makes it superior to competitive vibrating rods and tuning forks. It is the result of a “form-follows-function” concept. The rod does not end at the body. It is a long rod that goes all the way through the body and ends in the thread. The function principle is the rod is fixed by its swinging knots. If the rod is vibrating now, only a small amount of energy is needed to keep it swinging. Because the two fixing points are built synchronically, there is no energy lost to the fixing points of the rod. This principle makes the BinMaster Vibrating Rod very sensitive. What you see on the outside is just the “cover”; it does not vibrate and therefore can not be dampened. The thin tip keeps material from building up on it.
