Product catalog summary
Overview
The 3DLevelScanner by BinMaster is a non-contact, dust-penetrating level sensor designed for accurate volume measurement of powders and solids in bins, silos, and warehouses. It utilizes APM Automation Solutions Ltd Technology to measure multiple points within a bin, providing precise volume estimates.

Accurate Volume Measurement
The device uses low-frequency acoustical signals to penetrate dust and measure the time taken for signals to travel to and from the material surface, ensuring high accuracy in volume determination.

Display and Navigation
The scanner features an easy-to-navigate LCD with a 4-button operation, compatible with various signal outputs including 4-20 mA/HART and RS-485/Modbus.

BinMaster 3DLevelScanner Technical Data-2

Overview Accurate Volume Measurement The BinMaster 3DLevelScanner uses non-contact, dust-penetrating technology to provide unsurpassed bin volume accuracy. Unlike conventional single point devices, it works by measuring multiple points within the bin. The 3DLevelScanner uses a very low frequency acoustical signal to penetrate dust and take measurements which are determined by how long the signal takes to “travel to” solid or powder material and “return to” the device. This technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids, determining a highly accurate volume of materials contained in...
