3DLevelScanner 3DLevelScanner Changing the market from level to volume True Process Level and Volume Measurements of Bulk Solids APM’s 3DLevelScanner incorporates advanced technology for accurately measuring bulk solids and powders stored in silos and open bins of all types, shapes and sizes allowing production managers to make informed decisions about inventory control and usage. 1

APM Technology and the 3DLevelScanner The APM 3DLevelScanner is the only device presently available that delivers accurate measurement of bulk solids and powders regardless of the type of material or product characteristics, type and size of storage silo, bin or container, and harshness of the storage environment. It incorporates APM’s unique dust-penetrating technology to achieve an unrivaled degree of process measurement and inventory control. 3DLevelScanner Visualization Print Screen APM Automation Solutions Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and expert in level and volume measurement...

3DLevelScanner The 3DLevelScanner product line currently includes three models: Model S Determines the average volume of the stored contents. Based on a 30-degree beam angle, Model S is ideal for small silos up to 4 meters in diameter, and for tall (up to 70 meters) and narrow silos. Model M Yields highly accurate readings of level and volume. It is appropriate for large silos. It is based on a 70-degree beam angle. Model MV Identical to Model M, with the addition of a special software tool that allows 3D representation of the stored contents for display on a remote computer screen. This...

APM’s advanced technology beats the competition – hands-down It enables measurements of previously inaccessible applications. Seamlessly communicating with a plant’s existing ERP system, APM 3DLevelScanners give production managers greater control over inventories and the entire manufacturing process, optimizing the potential for greater overall efficiency and profitability.

3DLevelScanner APM Gets It Right Safety Steel grain bins have been susceptible to collapse, resulting in catastrophic failures attributed to uneven sidewall loading. This can be caused by hanging grain from spoilage or asymmetric filling and emptying. The 3DLevelScanner MV provides early visual detection of all such conditions long before they threaten the structural integrity of the container. This enables the production manager to intervene with appropriate maintenance, avoiding costly damage or loss of storage facilities as well as unexpected interruptions of production. Operational...
