Why Mollet MOLOSmembran Membrane Level Switches Outperform the Competition

When it comes to reliable point level detection in bulk solids — silos, hoppers, and conveyors — most manufacturers offer solutions that require continuous power, have protruding parts inside the vessel, or need regular maintenance. The MOLOSmembran series from German manufacturer MOLLET Füllstandtechnik works on a completely different principle.

Key advantages over other technologies:

  • Completely energy-independent. No external power supply is required. The switching energy comes from the weight of the bulk material pressing on the membrane.

  • No sensor parts inside the vessel. The membrane is flush-mounted with the wall. No paddles, vibrating forks, or probes that can bridge or wear out.

  • Insensitive to difficult conditions. Dust, adhesion, and material conductivity have no effect on performance. Ideal for cement, grain, plastic pellets, wood chips, animal feed, and many other bulk solids.

  • Maintenance-free. Purely mechanical design with no wearing parts.

  • Immediate response + adjustable sensitivity. From 20 g up to 2000 g depending on the model. Suitable for fine powders as well as coarse materials up to 30 mm.

  • ATEX versions available. Certified for dust and gas hazardous areas.

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio.

Comparison with other manufacturers of similar membrane level switches

Conclusion: BinMaster is strong in the agricultural sector (grain, feed) and offers very affordable models. Monitor Binatrol is a proven classic. For industrial conditions (cement, chemicals, wood processing, plastics), high temperatures, ATEX gas+dust zones, and coarse-grained materials, Mollet MOLOSmembran usually wins on reliability, application range, and European certification.

Available models: MFA (small containers), MFB (coarse materials), MFD (double membrane for pressure equalization), MFE and MFE-A (universal + ATEX).

Typical applications: full/empty detection in silos, overfill protection, and jam detection in screw conveyors and transfer points.
