Special challenges
Dust, filling noise, changing media properties
Application
Many different kinds of bulk solids are produced or used as raw materials in the chemical industry. To ensure reliable measurement of the silo contents, several factors must be considered: different bulk densities, abrasive properties, dust generation and the requirements of explosion protection. Application of the right level sensors ensures optimal production planning and reliable logistics for the finished products.
