Tech Tip -----------------

Getting the Most Out of a SiloPatrol® Plumb Bob Style Level Measurement Sensor

The SiloPatrol® SMU is a durable weight and cable (plumb bob) style continuous level measurement sensor that is unaffected by application factors such as humidity, dust, spurious reflections, dielectric constant and conductivity. This alone makes the SiloPatrol versatile for a variety of applications. Now include the below options and you have a reliable, cost-effective level sensor that can work for most powder / bulk solids and some liquid applications.

Plumb Bob Selection...
SiloPatrol A variety of optional plumb bobs are available to make the SiloPatrol® effective for a wide range of general and specialized applications.
The standard aluminum plumb bob works well for a large variety of powders and bulk solids; However, there are some more particular applications that may require a different style of plumb bob in order to most effectively interact with a specific target material. For instance, there is the inverted plumb bob for level indication of lighter bulk solids (ex. expanded perlite) or fluidized powders. There is the solid / water interface-style plumb bob to provide level measurement for settled solids in a blanket of water. In addition, a stainless steel ball float style plumb bob is available for use with some liquids. A Teflon® version of the ball float is offered for sticky or corrosive materials.
Operator Interfaces & Inventory Management Systems...
SiloTrack Cloud In addition, the SiloPatrol automates inventory management by use of the SiloTrack(TM) CLOUD web application, PC software or operator interface devices like the HMI2.
