PROCAP Capacitance Level Sensors Capacitance Level Sensors for Inventory Control BinMaster’s PROCAP capacitance probes are a versatile point level sensor used for level detection and alerts in bins, tanks, silos, and hoppers. They are used to sense high-, mid-, or low- levels in powders and solids as well as liquids. Thousands of custom configurations allow capacitance probes to be used across many industries such as plastics, chemicals, food and dairy, feed, grain, mining, aggregates, cement, and concrete.

PROCAP Capacitance Probes USA-Made Quality BinMaster capacitance probes are designed with features that make them accurate and reliable, even under rigorous or harsh conditions. Fail-Safe Operation An LED light on top of the unit indicates the sensor status is covered, uncovered, or in a failed condition preventing process mishaps caused by a power failure. Pro-Shield protects against false readings due to buildup on the probe or bridging between the sidewall and the probe. This allows the probe to be used in dusty, sticky, or clingy materials. Quick-Set Calibration Calibration of PROCAP sensors...

PROCAP capacitance probes measure the difference in the dielectric constant of the material versus the surrounding air allowing the sensor to detect the presence or absence of material. The probes are very responsive, sensing changes in capacitance as small as just one picofarad. BinMaster builds each PROCAP probe to a customer’s specification. Each sensor is specified a power pac, fitting, lag, probe, length, and mounting plate best for its material, vessel, and operating environment. Each sensor is made in just days in BinMaster’s factory in Lincoln, Nebraska. • Delrin Shielded, Extended Shielded,...

Probes for Every Process STANDARD PROBES The standard PROCAP I & II probes are offered with an expansive choice of Delrin, Teflon, stainless steel and bare probes … all custom assembled to a customer’s specification. BENDABLE PROBES A bendable probe can be used to avoid obstructions in a vessel and is a clever solution for use in smaller mixers or containers. Bendable probe HEAVY DUTY Heavy duty HD probes feature a 1” solid stainless-steel probe for use in high temperatures up to 500°F and can be used in heavy or challenging materials such as coal, fly ash, or clinker. SANITARY APPLICATIONS Food...

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION FLUSH MOUNTED For fast installation, the PRO AUTO-CAL probes with automatic calibration set up in seconds using a magnet without opening the unit cover. Flush mounted PROCAP FL probes are non-intrusive and ideal for use on a vessel wall, conveyor housing, chute or tight spaces where material may damage a standard probe. FLEXIBLE EXTENSION A flexible cable extension up to 35 feet long can be added to top-mounted probes for instances where material such as coal or aggregates may damage a rigid probe. Flexible Probe COMPACT PROBES COMPACT PRO probes are ideal for smaller vessels...

Standard Shielded Delrin/ Teflon Sleeved Probe Extended Shield Delrin/ Teflon Sleeved Probe The standard Delrin/Teflon sleeved probe is the most versatile all-purpose probe. It works reliably in bulk solids, powders, slurries, and liquids. It has a rugged 5/8” diameter 316 SS probe featuring “PROShield” protection against false readings because of coating or buildup. Designed with a 10” extended PRO-Shield, used when mounting the probe through a nozzle or standpipe. This probe has all the same features as the standard probe. Maximum Temp: Delrin sleeved 250ºF (121ºC), Teflon sleeved 500ºF (260ºC)...

Shielded Delrin Sleeved Sanitary/3-A Probe Sanitary probe meets 3-A and USDA standards, conforming to the food industry’s most demanding requirements for material, surfaces, and clean-in-place construction. This probe is designed for quick disconnect from the tank to facilitate ease of inspection and cleaning. Flush Mounted Shielded Probe No probe intrusion, designed for space constrained areas or applications where material flow or bridging may damage standard probes. The probe mounts flush on a vessel wall, conveyor housing or chute. A special bin wall adapter is available when working with...

The Teflon sleeved flexible cable extension was designed for high, mid, or low level when it is necessary to top mount. The flexible extension is also used in aggregates, coal or other lump materials that might damage a rigid probe or in materials that are not compatible with stainless steel. Maximum length of the cable and weighted probe end is 25 feet. The cable can be cut to length in the field. Probe Material: 316 stainless steel, 1/4” diameter cable with Teflon sleeve and insulator Lengths Available: 16 inches to 25 feet 1” food grade, 1”/2”/3”/4” 150#, Raised face flanges Power Pac Options:...
