CNCR-400 The radar technology of BinMaster’s new non-contact level sensors can measure bulk solids and liquids, including pellets, powders, regrind and additives. They have a small stainless steel housing. Plastics processors can install the sensors above molding or extrusion equipment to measure the level of resin in day bins without touching the material. They are available in three models, two of which include light rings that can be programmed with a variety of colors that can serve as alerts to critical inventory conditions. All are compatible with BinMaster’s BinCloud inventory management software.
What’s new? The sensors.
Benefits Accurate level measurement and convenience. Users can view bulk material levels from every bin and plant in real time, from anywhere, on a phone, tablet or PC. Also, because the sensors are compact, they are appropriate for installation in tight spaces and small vessels. With them, plastics manufacturers can optimize material usage, automate replenishment and better manage resin inventory.
