BinMaster’s SmartBob inventory measurement system offers a SmartBob2 SS sensor option, which is a proven solution when the requirement is to measure the level of solid material below a liquid surface, such as in brine interface applications. It can be used in tanks where solid material settles at the bottom of a tank, such as for measuring the level of settled salt, sediment, sand or metals under water. The SmartBob SS is an excellent alternative to relying on sight tubes and can be used in any application where solid material needs to be measured under liquid. Examples include water treatment, wastewater facilities, food processing, petroleum refining, chemical processing, and salt and metal mining.
Accurate Measurements without Climbing Tanks
The SmartBob SS sensor eliminates the need to climb tanks to get measurements. The weighted probe drops through the liquid and when it comes into contact with solid settled material, it retracts and sends a measurement to a SmartBob control console or a PC loaded with eBob software. It also features a 4-20 mA analog output from a console that can record the measurement directly to an existing control system or send data to a PC running a data logging program using RS-485 communications. The SmartBob SS sensor’s design includes a standard air purge fitting that can be plumbed to add dry air and help keep the sensor cavity dry. The SmartBob SS is fitted with either a stainless steel, Teflon-jacketed cable or a durable nylon cable with stainless fittings that stands up to corrosive materials.
