Minimize Costs and Ensure Process Efficiency with Moisture Measurement System

Continuous, in-line moisture measurement sensors can help prevent product that is "less-than-optimal" due to unsuitable moisture levels at various stages of the manufacturing process.

The HumiCoreTM In-Line Moisture Measurement System...

- Measures moisture inside the material core to ensure product quality
- High frequency field technology for fast (real-time), reliable measurements with typical accuracies of 0.1% to 0.3%
- Continuous, in-line monitoring eliminates need for frequent laboratory samples
- Compact design for easy calibration and installation in conveyor belts, screw conveyors, drag conveyors, etc.
- Automates moisture control to minimize energy costs, promote process consistency and maximize profits
- Available with a local interface controller (ULTRA Series) or with a DIN-Rail transmitter that allows for easy integration into an existing control system (PRO Series)

Cost-Sensitive Solution

A reliable, easy-to-use & affordable bin level indicator and plugged chute detector 

A diaphragm-style pressure-sensitive level switch is a reliable, versatile 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. 

Benefits of the Binatrol® Model G/GX Series: 
^ Low-profile, non-intrusive surface mounted sensor fits in 
  tighter spaces
^ 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...
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 pulverized coal, corn / grains, sand, powders and more.
