The Silo Patrol® plumb
bob “smart” level sensor from Monitor Technologies can be equipped with an
optional stainless steel interface style plumb bob in order to provide continuous level
measurement for settled solids in a blanket of water. The interface style plumb bob will penetrate through the water, make contact with the surface of the solid material and then retract to provide a level measurement. Examples of material applications that have been successful include sand, salt, corn, rice, potatoes and similar items that are covered by a layer of water. Interface with other liquids besides water may also be possible. Please check with Monitor regarding specific applications.
The SiloPatrol uses time-proven weight and cable techniques and combines Hall Effect sensor technology, state-of-the-art sealed bi-directional optical sensing, a split-compartment enclosure design, isolated outputs, SMT (surface mount electronic technology) and other valuable features to produce a rugged, reliable and accurate measuring system designed for the harshest and most dynamic conditions. In addition, a variety of operator interface devices and software, like SiloTrack software, are available to calculate and display material level inventory data.
