Sharing High Level Detection Amongst Many Bins

PROBLEM:
“How can I detect the full level condition of bins in an assembly fill line?”. A manufacturer of industrial chemicals required a high level detector to indicate the full level condition in small tote bins during the filling operation. They wanted to use a single level detecting probe and share it among many bins as they are filled.

EXPLANATION:
The manufacturer ships its product in tote bins. The level sensor would need to be inserted into a bin until the high level full condition is detected and then removed to be inserted into the next bin for filling. The manufacturer wanted to automate this process.

SOLUTION:
A recommendation was made by Monitor Technologies to use the TrueCap® RF Capacitance point level sensor and incorporate a common pipe union into the mounting scheme. The pipe union allowed the TrueCap unit to be inserted into place and secured by simply tightening the nut on the union. This eliminated any need for twisting the unit to uninstall it in the previous mounting condition where it was just threaded into the tote’s coupling.

SafePoint®
"True" Fail-Safe Level Switch

The SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”. The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology, dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health, and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure and confirmation of proper operation.

Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction, motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous location models)

A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true" fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a catastrophic process problem.
