A diaphragm-style level switch is a reliable and cost-effective way to detect levels of powders and bulk solids in storage bins, silos and other vessels. They are minimally intrusive units that make them ideal for vessels or chutes limited in size or internal clearance. 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.

Benefits of the Binatrol� Model G/GX Series:

^ Low-profile, non-intrusive surface mounted sensor fits in
   tighter areas

^ Affordable, basic pressure sensing device provides durable,
   reliable and low-maintenance operation

^ Adjustable sensitivity allows for use with a variety of powders
   and bulk solids

^ Can be adjusted from outside the bin without removing the unit
   from the vessel

^ Over-pressure protection prevents damage to the unit due to
   a heavy load that could cause excessive pressure on switch 

^ Requires no input power...provides "green" operation

^ Selection of diaphragm materials: Neoprene�, Teflon� or

   Stainless Steel

^ Optional Hazardous Location approvals for dust (Model GX) 

^ Optional ultra-sensitive switch for lightweight materials

Use With Abrasive Materials
