Series DBLM Mini-Bin Dry Bulk Level Monitor

Mini-Bin Dry Bulk Level Monitor Compact, 4-Vane Paddle

Compact, 4-Vane Paddle

The Mini-Bin provides reliable level sensing for dry bulk solids where mounting space is limited. This compact, side mount control reports high, intermediate, and low level conditions, eliminating overflows, choking, clogs or empty vessels. Model DBLM Mini-Bin operates by using a 1 rpm synchronous motor to rotate a four vane, plastic paddle. When material surrounds paddle and impedes rotation, the motor is de-energized and triggers a SPDT snap switch. Mount the Mini-Bin with optional 1-1/4" to 3/4" reducer to replace standard size units.

  • Compact, side mount control reports high, intermediate, and low level conditions, eliminating overflows, choking, clogs or empty vessels
  • Unaffected by the dielectric constant of the sensed material, making it superior to a capacitance level switch for applications where the dielectric constant is too low, where there is more than one material being used in one vessel, and when material moisture content can change
