The costs of overfilling silos are lost production time, damaged equipment and significant air pollution. The Silo Anti-Overfill System will help avoid serious injury and damage to your silo. The Silo Anti-Overfill System works with an existing bin level indicator like a rotary paddle bin level indicator that monitors material level and signals when silo is full. The Rotary Paddle Bin Level Indicators may be mounted on the top or side of a silo or bin and alerts operators when bins are full without the rigors and risks associated with climbing and continuously checking bins levels. When material is not in contact with the paddle, the paddle rotates freely. When the paddle comes into contact with dry bulk material, the paddle stops rotating and sends a signal – normally through the use of a horn or light – to alert that the bin is full. When the silo is full, an overfill light and horn are activated and pinch valves shut lines down after a preset time. The key component of a protection system is the use of Pinch Valves that are activated to close when a problem is detected. This shuts off the flow of materials to avoid damage and accidents from occurring while not interfering with the flow of normal operations. The Silo Saver System combines the Silo Anti-Overfill System, Over Pressure Sensor, and Broken Media Filter Sensor to give the highest level of protection available to your silos and dust collectors.
