Level measurement in additive silos
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Silo
        Measuring range up to:
    
    30 m
        Medium:
    
    Additives
        Process temperature:
    
    0 … +30 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Intense dust generation, abrasive media
Application
Depending on the manufacturing process and the type of metal being produced, various additives such as lime are required. The products are stored in silos or concrete bunkers and usually fed to the process via conveyor belts. For cost-effective storage of these materials, level measurement in the silo contents is essential.
