Product Spotlight -----------------------

Continuous Level Measurement & Inventory Management
 

A dependable level & inventory management system can:

> Provide more precise times for re-ordering raw materials to avoid downtimes waiting for more materials.

> Give an accurate indication of when the silos are getting full during refilling to prevent the downtime and clean-up costs of an over-filled silo.

> Allow personnel to make a lot fewer trips up the silos which reduces the risk of injury.



The SiloPatrol� "Smart" Plumb Bob is a rugged, reliable and accurate continuous level measuring system. SiloPatrol combines Hall Effect sensor technology, sealed bi-directional optical sensing, a split-compartment enclosure, isolated outputs and other features to produce a reliable measuring system designed for the harshest and most dynamic conditions. The sensor is low-maintenance and measurements are unaffected by material composition or dust. The sensor measures the inventory level automatically and on-demand without the need for an operator or plant personnel to climb silos. SiloPatrol automates inventory management by use of the HMI2 operator interface or PC-based software.



Additional Versatility Through Selection
of Plumb Bobs
 
Inverted Plumb Bob
Inverted Plumb Bob for lighter materials
A variety of optional plumb bobs are available to make the SiloPatrol� effective in more specialized applications. For instance, there is the inverted plumb bob for level indication of lighter bulk solids or fluidized powders and there is the solid / water interface-style plumb bob to provide level measurement for settled solids in a blanket of water. Please contact Monitor Technologies regarding specific applications.
