The BinMaster 3DLevelScanner uses non-contact, dust-penetrating technology to provide unsurpassed bin volume accuracy. Unlike single point devices, it works by measuring multiple points within the bin accounting for irregular material topography. This advanced acoustics-based technology is proven to perform in powders and bulk solids contained in tanks, silos, warehouses, as well as open bins and piles. It is ideal for food processing, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals where contact with the material being measured must be avoided. Its unique 3D mapping capabilities provide a visual representation of bin contents, detecting cone up or down as well as sidewall buildup.


BinMaster was first to the North American market with 3DLevelScanner technology. Since March of 2009, BinMaster has installed hundreds of 3DLevelScanners across the continent in diverse applications including the grain, bioenergy, cement, aggregates, wood, power and plastics markets.


BinMaster is the only company in the US with an in-house dedicated 3D sales and technical staff vastly experienced in specifying, installing and servicing this advanced technology. When it comes to 3D technology, no other company in North America has more expertise than BinMaster.
