Acoustic level and volume sensor for solids with 3D surface mapping and graphic visualisation
BinMaster series
BinMaster
If you have a very large bin, a domed silo, storage bunker, bulk storage room or open warehouse ... there is now a way to get more accurate inventory data. The BinMaster MVL is a multiple scanner system that integrates the multiple point measurement data from two 3DLevelScanners to cover a very wide surface area and then provide inventory volume with greater accuracy than previously available from any level measurement device. Using advanced processing and software, the MVL also displays a visual representation of the material surface that shows high and low points in the bin such as cone up, cone down, sidewall buildup or bridging.
Two scanners are mounted on the top of the vessel in locations optimized to most effectively cover the entire surface area of the material being measured. Generally, one scanner is mounted near the center and one eight to ten feet from the outer perimeter. The 3DLevelScanners are connected via a daisy chain using an RS-485 protocol. The scanners take multiple measurements of the material surface using dust-penetrating, acoustic-based technology. A controller combines the data from the two scanners and generates a single merged visual representation of the topography of the material and displays the image on a PC loaded with the 3D Vision software. The MVL also provides diverse data including estimated volume, as well as minimum, maximum and average distances to material in the bin.
