Level Sensors operate in process temperatures up to 480ºF.

Press Release Summary:




SHT-Series of vibrating rod level sensors are available in standard version that extends up to 7 in. and pipe-extended version that extends up to 160 in. Sensors provide point level detection in powdered, grained, or granular solids. When instrument's rod is uncovered, signal from sensor's electronic circuit excites rod that vibrates on resonance frequency of about 285 Hz. Vibration stops when rod is covered by material.

BinMaster Releases Vibrating Rod Level Sensor for Temperatures as High as 480º F



(Lincoln, NE - February 17, 2006) A leading manufacturer of industrial level control products, BinMaster, today announced the release of the SHT-Series of vibrating rod level sensors for use in process temperatures as high as 480° degrees Fahrenheit. The sensors provide point level detection in powdered, grained or granular solids.

"This instrument allows industries with hot processing to enjoy the same reliability and precision measurement that BinMaster customers depend on for lower-temperature processes," said Todd Peterson, director of sales and marketing.

When the single rod of the instrument is not covered with product, a signal from the sensor's electronic circuit excites the rod, which vibrates on a resonance frequency of about 285Hz. When material covers the rod, the vibration stops. The electronic circuitry senses the absence of vibration and forces the output relay to switch. When product levels drop again and the rod is uncovered, the vibration restarts and the relay switches back.

BinMaster offers SHT-Series Vibrating Rod point level sensors in two versions. The standard version extends about seven inches into a vessel. The measuring rod of the pipe-extended version lengthens as far as 160 inches.

BinMaster offers a complete selection of reliable, top-quality industrial instrumentation, used worldwide for inventory management and control, including point level detection, dry flow/no flow detection, aeration, and indication of hazardous dust concentration. BinMaster instruments start or stop machinery instantly when product reaches a specified level or show whether product is flowing freely. For more information, visit BinMaster at www.binmaster.com.
