Accurate Bin and Silo Volume Measurement
Bulk Solids and Powder
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY
|
|
The APM 3DLevelScanner™ is the only instrument in the world that delivers accurate volume measurement of bulk solids and powders.
It enables true inventory management of bulk solid materials, including: aggregates, sand, gravel, rocks, cement, coal, coke, fly ash,fertilizers, chemicals, salt, granulate chemicals, flour, grain, soy beans, milk powder, sugar, cereals, rice, plastic pellets, plastic powder and many more.
Using revolutionary patent pending technology, the APM 3DLevelScanner™ measures and maps the entire surface area of the material, even surface irregularities that typically occur in large silos or open bins.
Employing a low frequency pulse signal, it readily “penetrates” dust and moisture often encountered in industrial environments. |
The APM 3DLevelScanner™ solves application problems that have plagued industry for many years in diverse industries including; chemicals, plastics, power, mining, steel, cement, food and agriculture.
With the FM (Factory Mutual) Approved 3DLevelScanner™, Hazardous Locations are no problem. Of course, as for any Intrinsically Safe installation, Intrinsic Safety Barriers are required.
Using a 3DLinkPro™ with its GPRS wireless communications, bulk solids inventory information can be made available to a PC anywhere in the world.
The 3DLevelScanner™ accurately measures the volume, level, and weight, enabling an unrivaled degree of process measurement and inventory control.

How the 3DLevelScanner™ Works
The 3DLevelScanner™ employs an array of three transducers to transmit low frequency pulses and to receive echoes of the pulses from the contents of the silo, bin, or other container. Using these transducers, the unit measures not only the time/distance of each echo, but also its direction. The device's digital signal processor samples and analyzes the received signals to provide accurate measurements of the volume and average level of the stored contents and generates a 3D representation of the actual allocation of the product within the container for display on remote computer screens.
The 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 unique dust-penetrating technology to achieve an unrivalled degree of process measurement and inventory control.
Accuracy -
No more guesswork or inaccurate calculations. 3-dimensional mapping delivers true and absolute surface level values, volume and mass inside a silo or open bin.
Reliability and Durability -
Designed and built for reliable, constant performance. Uses three independent channels to transmit and receive.
Safety -
Units are available either as FM certified or ATEX certified.
Ease of Use -
The system’s easy-to-read 3-dimensional map, and the broad range of data it provides, make it the most convenient and efficient tool for level measurement on the market.
Sophisticated Sensors -
A built-in temperature sensor detects the interior temperature inside the silo and compensates for the influence of temperature on the signal running time. Sensors are unaffected by material type and need no calibration. Non-contact measurement makes the system appropriate for even the most sensitive materials.
