BinMaster 730-0675, BM 65 Plugged Chute Detector for Hazardous Locations
The BinMaster plugged chute detector is a pressure switch specifically designed to alert when a chute becomes clogged with material. It features a heavy spring and rugged diaphragm material that makes it ideal for use in chutes transporting flowing grain, seed, feed or other granular or pelleted materials. It offers UL Class II, Groups E, F & G explosion-proof certification and can be used in hazardous environments where there is a risk of combustible dust. When a chute becomes plugged, it provides an audible or visual alert when attached to a horn, siren, light or alarm panel. It features simple, rugged construction and long lasting durability.
- Reliable plugged chute detection for free flowing dry materials
- Hazardous location approvals for UL Class II, Groups E, F & G explosion-proof certification
- Material density from 15 lb./cu. ft. to 90 lb./cu. ft
- Feed, seed, grain and other granular materials
- Die-cast aluminum housing
- Two-year warranty
Mounting Options:
Select from either internal mounting or external mounting. Internal mounting does not require a hole be cut in the side of the bin, but does require entering the bin for installation. External mounting requires a hole is cut in the side of the bin, but does not require entering the bin for installation.
Diaphragm Materials:
Neoprene: .016” thick, black neoprene diaphragm. Neoprene is abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, and stretchable. Appropriate for process temperatures from -30°F to 220°F and material bulk density ranging from 15 to 60 lb./cu. ft.
Neoprene with Mesh: .020” thick, black neoprene with nylon mesh. This is the best diaphragm material to use in extremely high abrasive material. It has outstanding resistance to most chemicals, heat, and oils. Plus, it is flame resistant, offers excellent color stability, and weather resilience. Good for process temperatures ranging from -30°F to 270°F and material bulk densities from 15 to 90 lb./cu. ft.
Silicone: .031” thick, grey silicone diaphragm. Silicone offers the best long term resistance to environmental extremes. The chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties of silicone remains virtually unchanged in temperatures from -40°F to 350°F. Good for materials with bulk density ranging from 15 to 60 lb./cu. ft.
BinMaster Diaphragm Switches
BinMaster diaphragm switches provides automatic point level indication of free-flowing dry materials and can be installed to detect high, intermediate and low levels. It provides an audible or visual alert when attached to a horn, siren or light. It features simple, rugged construction and long lasting durability. It ican be used in feed, seed, grain, food, rubber, plastics, light powders, granules and many other materials
The BM 65 series diaphragm switch offers UL Class II, Groups E, F & G explosion-proof certification and can be used in environments where there is a risk of combustible dust.
The BM 45 series diaphragm switch is a standard diaphragm switch that does not have explosion-proof certification and is not intended for use in hazardous environments where there is a risk of combustible dust.
The BM 65 series plugged chute detector is a diaphragm switch specifically designed to alert when a chute becomes clogged with material. It offers UL Class II, Groups E, F & G explosion-proof certification and can be used in environments where there is a risk of combustible dust.
BinMaster diaphragm switches offer both internal and external mounting options. Internal mounting does not require a hole be cut in the side of the bin, but does require entering the bin for installation. External mounting requires a hole is cut in the side of the bin, but does not require entering the bin for installation.
To make it adaptable to a variety of materials, BinMaster offers the choice of a standard neoprene diaphragm, a heavy-duty neoprene diaphragm or a heavy-duty silicon diaphragm.
