BinMaster® MVL Multi-Scanner System for Very Large Silos
The BinMaster 3DLevelScanner MVL multiple scanner system integrates multiple point measurement data from two or more 3DLevelScanners to cover a very wide surface area and provide better inventory volume accuracy for large vessels than any other level measurement device.
Designed specifically for the challenges of very large bins, the BinMaster MVL system displays a visual representation of the material surface that shows high and low points in the bin such as cone up, cone down, sidewall buildup or bridging.
Reports generated by the 3D software provide data such as volume as a percentage, in bushels, or cubic feet or meters; maximum, minimum and average levels or distances to product; weight in US tons, pounds or metric tons; and historical logs of bin measurements.
An MVL system consists of two or more model MVL 3DLevelScanners (3D Solids Scanners), a controller that aggregates the data, and 3D Vision software to be loaded onto a PC.
The BinMaster MVL system works by integrating the measurement data from two scanners mounted on the top of the vessel in locations optimized to effectively cover the entire surface area of the material.
Generally, one scanner is mounted near the centre and the others halfway between the centre and sidewall of the bin. The scanners take multiple measurements of the material surface using dust-penetrating, acoustic-based technology.
A controller then combines the data from the two scanners and generates a single merged visual representation of the topography of the material and displays the image on a PC loaded with the 3D Vision software that can be viewed as real-time 3D images or historic 3D image movies.
The MVL multiple scanner system is a popular choice in industries such as agriculture, biofuels, and mining where large diameter bins storing solids are prevalent. It has performed reliably in challenging powders such as alumina, gypsum, and bauxite.
“The BinMaster MVL system provides the best inventory accuracy for the bigger bins and structures our customers are dealing with today,” stated Mike Mossage, product manager and BinMaster vice president of sales. “Since early 2009, BinMaster has installed 3DLevelScanner technology at hundreds of customer locations in diverse applications such as grain, feed, cement, aggregates, fertilizer, milling, food manufacturing, ethanol, plastics, power and mining. The MVL is BinMaster’s best solution to meet the needs of customers who are demanding better inventory accuracy from large silos that are extremely difficult to measure.”

About us
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.
