Bunker filling controller

Hopper filling controller for pellet boilers

Bunker filling controller — is a device designed to automatically control the filling level of a bin with various materials, such as fuel (e.g. pellets), grain, sand and other bulk substances. It monitors the content level using sensors and, if necessary, activates or stops the material feed, preventing both overfilling and complete emptying of the bin. The controller ensures uninterrupted operation of systems, minimizes manual intervention and increases the efficiency of the material feed process.

Hopper Filling Controller: Capabilities

Most of our customers pay special attention to the level of heating comfort and the possibility of work automation. solid fuel boilers, characterized by increased labor intensity of maintenance. An important factor is the possibility of automating the filling of the supply hopper, reducing the share of manual labor. The hopper filling controller is designed precisely for these purposes.

The automation controls the storage bunker auger:

• controls the minimum level of the boiler feed hopper
• controls the filling and maintenance of the operating level of fuel in the supply hopper from the storage hopper
• automatic and semi-automatic filling of the feed hopper
• Upon additional request, it is possible to install a lower feed hopper sensor
• work on capacitive level sensors with adjustable threshold (low sensitivity to dust), guaranteed control of the presence of pellets, there is no mechanical contact.

The boiler bunker filling controller provides automatic control of the fuel level in the feed bunker using capacitive sensors that are not susceptible to dust and mechanical damage. It controls the minimum pellet level and starts the transport device to maintain the operating fuel level. The system prevents downtime by automatically resuming the fuel supply when its level decreases and turning off the transport when there are no pellets.
