• When All The Pieces Fit Just Right!• Proven Technology - Has Been In Use for Decades

• Mid-20th Century Roots

• Telecommunication Industry Refinement

• Early 1990’s as Level Sensor Technology

• Monitors’ 50 Years Experience in Bulk Solids• Pioneering Level Measurement & Monitoring in Bulk

Solids Since 1958

• Continuous Level and Inventory Monitoring for Bulk Solids Since Early 1970’s

• Flexar Standard Output Interfaces With SiloTrack Software

Page 3: Flexar

• Principle of Operation – How Flexar® Works• Continuous Radar Pulses Guided to Material Surface

• Time-Of-Flight Directly Related to Measured Distance/Level

Page 4: Flexar

• No Continual Maintenance - Solid-State Performance

• Wide Range of Applications - Materials with r ≥ 1.4

• Ideal for Vessels with Pneumatic-Filled Powders

• Single Cable or Rod, Twin-Cable - 316SS Construction

• Easy Installation - Wide Range of Process Connections

• Easy Setup - Local Display/Keypad or SiloTrack™

• Universal Power Supply

• Applications• Measure the Level of Powders, Granular and Liquid Materials

•Independent of Bulk Density, Particle Size (Powder or Granular)

• Manage Material Inventory

• Local Control or SiloTrack™

• Materials Measured from Virtually Every Industry

• Feeds, Bulk Chemicals, Plastic Pellets, PVC, Compounds, Resins, Cement, Flyash, Flour, Clays, Aggregates, Grains, Seed, Coal, Lime, Many Other Powders, Variety

of Liquids, Oils and Much More
