Raw material silo
Level measurement and point level detection in a raw material silo
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement and point level detection
        Measuring point:
    
    Silo
        Measuring range up to:
    
    10 m
        Medium:
    
    Malt, hops and raw fruit sugar
        Process temperature:
    
    +3 … +40 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Dust generation, deposits
Application
Hops, malt and raw fruit sugar are required as raw materials for the brewing process. The raw materials are stored in large silos. To ensure continuous supplies for production are maintained, the level must be constantly monitored.
