Small silos for baking ingredients
Level measurement and point level detection in small storage containers
Level measurement and point level detection in small storage containers
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Silo
Measuring range up to:
3 m
Medium:
Salt, flour, yeast
Process temperature:
-40 … +50 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Small tanks, dust
Application
Small vessels and hoppers are used as intermediate storage containers in which ingredients such as flour, yeast and salt are there, ready for manufacture into baked goods. Level measurement and point level detection ensure that the ingredients required have high levels of availability and replenish when needed to meet production demand.
