Level measurement of plastic granule silo
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Level measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Silo
        Measuring range up to:
    
    25 m
        Medium:
    
    Plastic granules
        Process temperature:
    
    -10 … +40 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    0 … 0 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Noise and dust during filling, abrasive medium, poor reflective properties
Application
Complete plastic windows can be recycled by means of a special process. The recycling process results in a final product of high-quality, pure-grade PVC granules, which serve as a raw material for new windows. It is stored in large silos that are fitted with tubes for uniform colour mixing. For optimal control of production and supply, the contents of the silo have to be determined, which is usually via level measurement.
