Radar
Radar

Bulk solids radar is a specialized technology used to measure the level of solid materials stored in silos, bins, and other containers. These radar sensors use microwave signals that penetrate the bulk material, allowing them to accurately determine the level or volume of the solids.

Level Control Dry Products

What is the role of level control systems in managing dry bulk products?

Level control for dry products provides accurate monitoring of material levels in bins, silos, and hoppers to make sure of efficient operations and minimize waste. Versatile devices, including rotary paddle switches, vibrating rods, capacitance probes, and radar sensors, cater to different applications and are built to withstand harsh environments, providing long-lasting performance. These devices feature user-friendly designs for quick integration, reducing downtime and installation costs. Advanced sensors ensure precise level measurement, maintaining optimal inventory levels, while low maintenance requirements save time and operational costs.


What Devices Are Common for Dry Bulk Level Control?

Common devices for dry bulk level control include:


  • Rotary Paddle Switches: Detect bulk materials by halting rotation when the material reaches the paddle.
  • Vibrating Rod Sensors: Detect material presence by using vibration and are suitable for various bulk materials.
  • Capacitance Probes: Measure changes in capacitance caused by material presence.
  • Radar Sensors: Provide non-contact, continuous level measurement, making them ideal for dusty environments.


What are the Benefits of Advanced Level Control Solutions?

The benefits of advanced level control solutions include:


  • Enhanced operational efficiency, optimizing production processes, reducing downtime, and increasing output.
  • Cost savings by preventing overfilling and material shortages, all while reducing waste and operational costs.
  • Reliable level measurement for safe storage and handling of materials, preventing spills and accidents.
  • Real-time monitoring to help maintain optimal inventory levels, improving supply chain efficiency.

The H-19 mounting plate is the standard side-mount interface for the Original Roto-Bin-Dicator®. The 8" diameter plate bolts or welds to the side of a bin or silo wall, and the half-coupling positions the instrument so the paddle extends into the vessel horizontally. The included H-20 gasket provides a seal between the plate and the vessel wall to prevent dust leakage. Powder-coated mild steel construction offers good durability in most industrial environments.

The H-192 mounting plate provides a top-mount interface for the Original Roto-Bin-Dicator®. It positions the instrument on the roof of a bin or silo with the paddle extending downward into the vessel. The full coupling allows the paddle shaft to be driven directly by the motor without a flexible coupling element. The H-20 gasket seals against dust ingress. Use with Extension 1 or 3 when a longer shaft reach is needed.

The H-36 neoprene flexible shaft coupling connects the Roto-Bin-Dicator® motor shaft to the paddle shaft with built-in vibration dampening and angular/parallel misalignment compensation. This coupling is strongly recommended for installations on vessels subject to mechanical vibration (e.g., pneumatic filling, attached conveyors, vibrating screens) as it significantly reduces bearing wear on the motor shaft. Rated to 170°F (77°C) maximum continuous process temperature.

The H-370 is the most versatile and widely used paddle for the Original Roto-Bin-Dicator®. Four 316 stainless steel vanes (1-1/2" × 5" diameter) provide reliable contact with a broad range of dry bulk materials from medium-density granules to moderately dense powders. Mounting pins allow quick installation onto the paddle shaft without tools. Supplied as a direct replacement for worn or damaged paddles, or when changing paddle type for a different material.

The H-371 large 4-vane paddle provides 56% more swept area than the standard H-370, making it the correct choice for materials with very low bulk densities (typically under 20 lb/ft³) that might not reliably actuate a smaller paddle. Four 316 SS vanes sweep the larger 7" diameter arc to ensure positive contact and accurate level detection in expanded plastics, fine lightweight powders, grain chaff, and similar light materials.

The H-379 insertable single curved vane (commonly called the 'banana' paddle) is engineered to pass through small-diameter nozzle openings and deploy inside the vessel. The curved profile reduces drag torque in free-flowing materials and prevents bridging at the vessel wall. Used in retrofit situations where the existing nozzle diameter is too small for a 4-vane paddle, or in applications requiring a very low torque paddle to prevent false actuation in light materials.

The H-380 collapsible 2-vane paddle solves the challenge of inserting a paddle into a vessel where the nozzle or access point is too small for a rigid 4-vane paddle. The two vanes fold inward for insertion and spring open inside the vessel to their full operating diameter. 316 stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long service life. Once deployed, the paddle operates identically to a fixed-vane design.
