BinMaster’s VRX series of vibrating probes is the Nebraska-based company’s latest innovation in level measurement. Built for durability and reliability in BinMaster’s signature red housing, the VRX is engineered to provide dependable point-level detection for powders and bulk solids – even under the most demanding industrial conditions.
A highly visible, on-board status indicator light changes from green to red when the probe goes from an uncovered to a covered condition. This provides for quick visual confirmation of operation, facilitates fast troubleshooting, and enhances process efficiency through immediate feedback. The use of this easy-to-monitor level sensor can result in downtime reduction, fewer errors, and simplified communication, noted BinMaster.
The VRX series features a comprehensive lineup of advanced models that utilize a piezoelectric element, which vibrates until material contact dampens the signal, triggering a DPDT relay to alert operators to a “full” or “empty” condition. Designed for high accuracy, minimal maintenance, and resistance to buildup, the VRX sensors offer an ideal solution for light, low-dielectric, or difficult-to-measure materials.
VRX standard vibrating probes are now offered with either 1-1/2-inch or a new 1-1/4-in. NPT mounting option. Models include the VRX21 with a compact, sword-shaped blade with 7.37-in. insertion – ideal for bins and hoppers. The VRX31 is a sanitary model with 2-in., tri-clover fitting for food and pharma use. The high-temperature VRX61 model is ideal for environments up to 500°F.
Extended VRX Probes include the VRX41 with a rigid pipe extension up to 13 feet, ideal for deep vessels and plugged chute detection. The VRX51 utilizes a flexible cable-extended probe (up to 19 ft.) that resists damage from falling material, while the VRX71 is for high-temperature environments.
BinMaster’s VRX vibrating probe line combines immediate status notification, versatility and rugged construction in challenging materials – providing an alternative to a rotary level indicator in mining, agriculture, plastics, cement, food and more.
