ASI Instruments announces the LaserTrak 80 laser transmitter for non-contact level measurement and positioning of dry bulk solids: laser device measures any solid surface at any angle
Designed for measuring the level of dry bulk solids in hoppers, silos, bins, and tanks, the system handles materials with densities of 10 lbs/ft3 or more, including grains, plastic pellets, even high density aggregates like limestone and rocks.
With RotaryPoint, there are no more screws or fasteners to hinder access; the unit features a twist-on cover for quick access to wiring.
The indicator can be mounted on the top of bins or on the side to indicate high, intermediate, or low levels.
Two 20A single pole-double throw (SPDT) reed switches allow activation of alarms and controls, including visual indicators or conveyor belts.
Stainless steel mounting plates are standard, allowing the device to be a drop-in replacement for virtually any other paddle switch.
Flexible shaft couplings, extended shafts, and shaft guards are available for protected operation of the rotating paddle in almost any position and orientation.
For hazardous applications, RotaryPoint provides FM Approved and CSA Certified housing options.
"The RotaryPoint indicator small footprint makes the unit incredibly versatile, compatible with a wide range of applications and a drop-in replacement for existing paddle switches," said Kevin Hambrice, Marketing Manager for ASI Instruments.
"Whether preventing overflows, clogged hoppers, or empty tanks, RotaryPoint has the right paddle for virtually any bulk solids application, and at the lowest price in the industry".
The RotaryPoint rotating paddle bin level indicator is available for immediate shipment.
Prices start at $220.
Delivery is one week from receipt of order.
