Full, demand, and empty indicator in silos: MBA 200 "TYPE MAIHAK"
Full, demand, and empty measurement in silos- those are the main applications of the rotating paddle instrument MBA 200.
The MBA 200 works reliably and almost completely independent from the bulk material's characteristics. Therefore it is used more and more frequently for measuring of the filling heights.
Since 1939, the "Maihak Bin level Analyzer" were produced and successfully distributed by the MAIHAK AG. The abbreviation MBA is also derived from this expression, which stands for "Maihak-Bunkerstand-Anzeiger" in German.
The basic construction of motor, shaft and rotating paddle remained from this time on - simply because this measuring idea is unique. In detail, however, the modern rotating paddle devices of the MBA 200 series has very little in common with the "bunker-level switches" of 1939. However, they combine the past and present advantages.
