The 3DLevelScanner uses acoustics-based technology. Three transducers send extremely low frequency sound waves to the material surface, making a sound that sounds like chirping crickets. The sensor receives echoes back from multiple points on the surface which are converted to distance measurements.
Advanced algorithms in the software assign each measurement an XYZ coordinate that is mapped into a 3D image. Optional software generates a graphical representation of the material topography in the bin. Surface variations are accounted for in volume calculations.
BinMaster 3DLevelScanner™ Models
M Maps and Measures
The M model takes measurements within a 70° beam angle. It reports the highest, lowest, and average level. 3DVision software provides highly accurate level and volume data.
MV Adds 3D Image
The MV has all the capabilities of the M model, but also generates a 3D representation of the material surface. Plants that work with materials that bridge, rat hole, or build up along bin walls may prefer to add 3D imagery.
MVL Measures Big Bins
The MVL provides volume accuracy in large diameter bins. Mount multiple scanners in strategic locations to account for surface variations across the material surface. The software synchronizes the level data from all sensors to create a single 3D image and calculate bin volume.
S for Average Volume
The S model determines the average volume of stored materials based on a 30° beam angle. It is used to measure materials in silos up to 14’ diameter and 200’ tall.
RL Single-Point Measurement
The RL model measures at a 15° beam angle and reports a single distance. It excels in harsh, high dust environments and problematic low dielectric materials. It provides reliable level data and is most frequently used in narrow silos or silos with structure.
HT for High Temps
With an operating temperature up to 356°F (180°C), the HT model is suited for materials like clinker, fly ash, frac sand, and alumina.
