Cost-Effective Level or Backed-Up Conveyor Chute Indication for Powder and Bulk Solids...Including Abrasive Dry Materials 
 
Diaphragm Level Switch
Binatrol� Model G/GX series
diaphragm switch
A diaphragm-style level switch is a reliable and cost-effective way to detect levels of powder and bulk solids in storage bins, silos and other vessels. Especially in tight spaces. In addition to level indication, the diaphragm switch can be used to detect plugged or backed-up conveyor chutes. For example, there are several companies that install Monitor Technologies' Binatrol� Model G/GX series of diaphragm switches with the optional Hycar� covers to be used as alarms for backed-up conveyors of powder or pulverized coal chutes that provide feedstock to boilers.

Use With Abrasive Materials 
The Hycar� (rubber nitrile) optional cover is designed to provide the Binatrol� Model G/GX series diaphragm bin level switch with additional durability for use with more abrasive dry materials like powder or pulverized coal and more.

 

About The Binatrol� Model G/GX Series
These diaphragm-style level switches are surface mounted, minimally intrusive units that make them ideal for vessels or chutes limited in size or internal clearance. Also, the diaphragm switch requires no input power.

DustAlarm

DustAlarm� Detects Filter Leaks or Failures In Dust
Collection Systems 

Monitor Technologies' DustAlarm� particle emissions detector or "broken bag" detector is designed to detect filter failures and leaking filters in the exhaust ducts of bag houses, cartridge collectors, cyclones and other dust collection systems containing filters which may break or wear out with time.

 

The DustAlarm� broken bag detector uses time-proven triboelectric technology to continuously monitor the level of dust emission in dust collection system exhausts. When an increase in emission level exceeds the user adjusted setting, an alarm is triggered as indicated by the unit's output relay changing state.  The DustAlarm has a unique extended insulator to guard against material build-up problems, as well as, a unique quick-disconnect mounting coupling to provide quick and easy installation and maintenance when needed.
