Practical Tip
-----------------
Should you inspect your silo level sensors?
Silo level sensors normally do not need much attention; However, a periodic maintenance inspection on your level indicators may be helpful to prevent any future mishaps. Now might be a good time to check, especially in areas that will be cold soon. Nobody enjoys climbing silos in "freezing" weather.
Example Checklist for SiloPatrol® Level Sensor
The SiloPatrol® plumb bob level sensors do not require a lot of "messing" with. Therefore a regularly scheduled maintenance procedure for these units is not necessary. We do, however, recommend for optimum performance that the following things be checked and performed on the SiloPatrol from time to time.
For the Wiper Seal & Brush:
* Ensure cable freely travels through the entire wiper seal assembly.
* Clean wiper seal and brush as needed (compressed air or a toothbrush or similar works great) or replace if excessively worn.
For the Cable:
*
Ensure there are no kinks, bends, "fish hooks" and knots on the cable
.
* Ensure the jacketing is not fraying or peeling off the cable. Replace as needed
.
For the Rollers:
*
The white rollers on the cable side of the SiloPatrol unit should spin in both directions freely.
* The black wheel should spin freely. Ensure that it is tight on its 'Z' axis. (You can't push the black wheel in and out a significant distance.)
Also, check the silicone tire in the measurement wheel for cracks or wear. Replace measurement wheel if worn.
For the Plumb Bob:
* E
nsure the plumb bob is clean and securely attached to the cable.
* Verify that plumb bob attachment hardware is in good condition.

Booted Evasser Aeration Device |
Material Flow
Bulk materials, especially powders, stored in vessels can settle (pack) and tend not to flow well through a process system. Monitor Technologies'
Evasser
is a bin aeration device used to maintain the flow of dry bulk powders and granular solids in storage vessels.
Why Choose the Evasser...
>
Monitor's booted Evasser aerator is compact, durable and capable of aerating / fluidizing many types of bulk powders and granular solids in bins, hoppers and silos.
>
It operates by constantly presenting air to the mass of the stored material...Typical effective radius of 12 inches (305mm) per Evasser device.
 > Features no moving parts...very low maintenance.
> No loud noise or damaging vibrations caused by pneumatic or electric vibrators.
>
No filters to change or clean.
>
Unlike other types of aerators that use cotton or canvas to diffuse the air, the Evasser is less likely to be bound or clogged due to moisture and can be more effective as it directs air flow to "sweep" the bin wall.
>
Not as prone to back-flow of material since the standard neoprene boot expands to let the pressurized air out and contracts when the air is shut off blocking the air outlets from material back-flow.
Options:
> Black Neoprene boot or optional white FDA Neoprene boot (ideal for many food / dry ingredient processes and more).
> Evasser unit can be provided in either cast iron or 316 stainless steel construction.
> Available with an optional convenient external mounting plate.
