BinMaster Level Controls of Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
announces the BM-30 LGX particulate monitoring system designed for general process and
environmental monitoring. Applications for the BM3-LGX include continuous emissions monitoring,
baghouse filter leak detection and process particulate flow monitoring. It detects many types of particulate
including solid particulates such as dusts, powders, granulars and pellets. The BM-30 LGX is designed to
help companies meet regulatory requirements by detecting leaks before emissions are visible, and
prevents the escape of valuable or dangerous powders while providing a cleaner, safer workplace.
The BM-30 LGX employs a highly reliable technology based on induction. This particulate monitoring
system consists of a control unit, a particulate sensor probe and a sensor coaxial cable. The sensor probe
is mounted in an airflow stream such as a pipe, duct or stack. As particulate flows near and over the
sensing element, the concentration of particulate is measured. When a predetermined threshold is
detected, an alarm is activated. The BM-30 LGX is CE conformant, CSA certified and complies with EN
61010 safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use.
This intrinsically safe device can be used in hazardous environments and helps ensure air quality and
plant safety. Particulate monitoring is applicable to most any industry where dust and particulate matter
are problematic including the cement, mining, foundry, and steel or aluminum processing industries.
Power plants that use coal or any operation that utilizes or outputs carbon black will also require
particulate monitoring to comply with OSHA and EPA regulations. Industries such as grain, food
manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and wood processing endeavor to prevent explosions, protect
employee safety and air quality, and ensure valuable equipment is not harmed.
“BinMaster level controls are installed in many environments where dust and particulate matter are
present,” stated Todd Peterson, vice president of sales for BinMaster. “The BM-30 LGX is an ideal
complement for the customer who needs to monitor particulate matter as well as track bin level
inventories. Our goal is to provide customers with the right solutions for their bin challenges.”
