NivoBob - NB 3400 Electro-Mechanical Lot System

The NivoBob® NB 3400 Electro-Mechanical Lot System offers a robust electromechanical approach for continuous level measurement in a wide range of bulk solid applications. By physically lowering a bob into the stored material, it directly senses the true surface—unimpeded by dust clouds, changing dielectric properties, or moderate bridging. This results in high accuracy and reliable data for inventory management, scheduling feed operations, and preventing costly overfills or run-outs.

Key Benefits

Mechanical Simplicity
A spool, rope/tape, and bob design proven over decades of usage.

Minimal Calibration
The system’s measurement is purely distance-based, unaffected by product dielectric or moisture changes.

Stable Performance in Dusty/Varied Conditions
Dust-laden or low-reflectivity materials pose no reading challenges.

Integration Flexibility
4–20 mA, relay, or digital bus outputs link easily to PLCs or SCADA, enabling both scheduled and on-demand measurements.

In a world of more complex and delicate sensor technologies, the straightforward electromechanical design of the NivoBob NB 3400 remains a durable, cost-effective solution for safe, reliable measurement of bulk solids across diverse industrial environments.
