ABSTRACT:
A bulk material container comprises a shell made from suitable material, such as aluminum or stainless steel. Disposed within the shell is a follower. The vertical position of the follower varies with the level of flowable bulk material stored in the shell. A permanent magnet is carried by the follower for movement therewith and a magnetic switch operatively responsive to the magnetic field created by the permanent magnet is attached to the exterior of the shell to detect the height of the permanent magnet. A level indicator is responsive to the operation of the magnetic switch for indicating the level of the follower.
