Conveyor belt transfer station
Level measurement and point level detection at the belt transfer point
Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Silo
Measuring range up to:
5 m
Medium:
Stones, gravel and sand
Process temperature:
-40 … +50 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Extremely noisy and dusty environment, abrasion
Application
The transport of coarse and fine bulk solids within a stone processing facility takes place in most cases via conveyor belts. To achieve an even throughput and compensate for volume fluctuations during transport, belt transfer points are integrated in the conveyor line. The incoming bulk material is briefly stored in a buffer silo to prevent belt overfilling. This is the point where the level and the point level must be monitored.
