Level indication for bins, hoppers and silos

Rotating level indicators

Easy-to-install, versatile, cost-effective and reliable level indication for bins and hoppers.

ILT-type Bin Level Indicators are designed for electric signalling by rotary action of minimum or maximum material level inside bins, hoppers or silos.

As soon as the material level reaches the measuring paddle rotation is blocked. As soon as the material level sinks below the paddle radius, rotation restarts activating other system components. The top or side-mounted indicators are commonly used for powdery and granular materials.

Vibrating level indicators

Precise and reliable continuous level measurement of powdery or granular material.

ILV vibrating level indicators find wide use in the continuous level measurement of bins, hoppers and silos that contain particularly light materials with a bulk density starting at 0.06 tons per cubic meter. This makes ILV an excellent option for situations in which the stored material is too lightweight or "fluffy" to prevent the rotating action of ILT level indicators.

ILV-type Bin Level Indicators are designed for electric signalling by fork vibration of minimum or maximum material level inside bins, hoppers or silos.

The piezo-electrically stimulated oscillating fork vibrates at its mechanical resonance frequency. If the probe is covered by the bulk material, the damping thus generated is registered electronically and a corresponding signal output is actuated. The actuators can be mounted on the top or on the side of hoppers and bins.

The ILV device is used for level monitoring in all types of bins or silos and for all kinds of powders or granular materials.

Continuous level measurement system

Highly-efficient continuous level measurement of powdery or granular material in silos or containers.

ILS is a Continuous Level Measurement System for all kinds of powdery or granular material stored in silos or containers.

The feel weight of the ILS-system moves, microprocessor-controlled, down into the container. Upon impact on the bulk material it is pulled back to its upper stop position. By capturing the distance that the feel weight has covered the material level is measured.

Completely insensitive to:

• Di-electricity and conductivity of bulk material
• Dust inside the silo
• Changes in moisture content of bulk material
• Material that tends to stick
