SiloPatrol® can improve silo inventory control and plant safety

The SiloPatrol® SE smart cable-based sensors are successfully used to improve material inventory control of powder / bulk solids in storage silos, hoppers, vessels, etc. The sensors measure the inventory level automatically and on-demand without the need for your operator or plant personnel to climb silos. The smart cabled-base sensors automatically lower a weight & cable into the silo until it contacts the material surface. Upon contact the weight & cable system is immediately retracted and the measurement is fed to the plant control system or operator interface. A microcontroller directs all of the functions of the sensor to ensure the proper travel of the weight & cable, which provides accuracy and reliability of the measurement. These sensors are easy to install and are also virtually maintenance free, requiring only a periodic inspection usually once or twice per year. Once the material level measurement is obtained, a variety of operator interface devices are available to calculate and display material volume, weight and more. A PC-based software package is also available that can automate report generation, send emails to suppliers or corporate locations and allow remote viewing of material level inventory.

The SiloPatrol SE uses time-proven weight and cable techniques and combines Hall Effect sensor technology, state-of-the-art sealed bi-directional optical sensing, a split-compartment enclosure design, isolated outputs, SMT (surface mount electronic technology) and other valuable features to produce a rugged, reliable and accurate measuring system designed for the harshest and most dynamic conditions. This system also increases plant safety by making it unnecessary for personnel to climb silos in order to take measurements of the material level.
