Rotary Level Indicator With Built-in Indicator Light

Listen to this article

BinMaster’s new BMRX-300 rotary level switch is the first to feature a large LED built-in indicator light. The bright LED changes from green to red when the paddle stops turning when the bin is full. 

Use it to prevent overfills or wire the DPDT 10-amp output relay to stop a process, such as turning off an auger. This affordable, easy-to-install level indicator eliminates bin and silo climbing to keep people safe.

The light is housed inside the protective lid of the rotary. There is no extra wiring to an external notification light. When the BMRX-300 is mounted on the side of the vessel, the bright green or red light is visible from 100 feet away

Fail-safe operation, self-diagnostics, and immediate and corrective response to failures distinguish the BMRX-300 as an optimal rotary for process control. A red light visually alerts to a fault or covered condition, while a green LED light indicates a rotating or uncovered status condition.

The BMRX-300 is designed and made in Nebraska, USA; even the motor is manufactured in-house. With two ¾” conduit entrances for easy wiring and a standard 1.25” NPT connection, it easily replaces or upgrades any existing rotary. 

The new red, NEMA 4X, 5, 7, 9 & 12 aluminium cast housing with a powder-coated finish has a screw-off cover that makes wiring accessible and simple. Another new feature is the enclosure rotates a full 360° to point conduit entries down to protect the unit from moisture and water ingress.

Visit BinMaster.com to buy the next-generation BMRX-300. It is an affordable way to alert to vessel levels in solid materials with a bulk density of 2 lb. to over 100 lb./cu. ft. Use it for level indication in any free-flowing solids including grains, pellets, or granules.

About us

Garner Industries Lincoln Nebraska USA  BinMaster/Garner Industries is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.

Operations that struggle with the challenges of inventory management and timely replenishment of all types of powders, bulk solids, or liquids can monitor silo levels on their smartphone, tablet, or desktop with complete solutions from BinMaster. A complete suite of continuous level sensors, point level indicators, material management, and inventory monitoring devices and software simplifies material management while keeping people safe from the risks of climbing silos.

The Lincoln Nebraska, USA company manufactures sensors and software used for monitoring levels in bins, tanks, silos, chutes, and hoppers. Continuous level measurement options include SmartBob cable-based, guided wave radar, laser and 80 GHz non-contact radar, which are all compatible with Binventory™ software. Battery-powered, wireless laser level sensors are compatible with BinView® or FeedView® web apps for remote monitoring.

The unique 3DLevelScanner measures and maps material for volume accuracy and is the only sensor to generate a 3D image of silo contents. BinMaster is the exclusive worldwide supplier of this unique technology and has commissioned these sensors in bins containing powders and solids for over a decade.

Point level indicators provide automated level alerts using rotaries, diaphragm switches, capacitance probes, tilt switches, and vibrating rod level sensors. Dust detection devices alert to baghouse leaks and unsafe particulate levels. Flow detection sensors prevent cross contamination and assist with FSMA compliance for human and animal feeds. Aeration devices keep powders and solids flowing so they don’t pack in hoppers, along bin walls, or in the cone of the vessel

Robust, custom systems can be developed for a single site or networked for every bin, tank, and silo across a multi‐national operation. Add Stockpile Reports for pile inventory using images from an iPhone or drone to a SaaS dashboard. Monitor livestock feed inventory from a phone, tablet, or PC with the FeedView® web application.

BinMaster is US manufacturer certified to ISO 9001 quality management systems – requirements. For more information about BinMaster, visit www.binmaster.com.
