3 Ways 3D Level Measurement is Unique

The 3DLevelScanner is the only level sensor today that measures and maps the topography of powders and solids in silos, taking multiple measurements across the material surface. Other types of level sensors only measure a single point in the silo.

BinMaster has the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and sell 3DLevelScanners in a long-term worldwide licensing agreement. Now, 3DLevelScanners are more affordable supplied directly from a company with more than 10 years’ experience commissioning this technology.

How 3D Excels in Silo Measurement

More Accurate: Surface irregularities are accounted for when calculating silo volume. Highest, lowest, and average measurements are reported.

3D Image: It is the only sensor with software that provides a 3D visualization of silo contents. Detects cone up or down, sidewall buildup, and irregular piling.

Large Bins: Multiple MVL 3DLevelScanners can be used in large diameter bins to provide volume accuracy that far surpasses a single-point measurement instrument.

BinMaster’s 3DLevelScanner is compatible with all 3D Solids Scanner or 5708 systems already in use around the world. Contact sales to get new reduced pricing, add to your system, and buy replacement parts from BinMaster.

International distributor opportunities are available. Please contact Scott Hudson, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing to get more details.



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.
