Application
Materials such as concrete and mortar are needed in widely different compositions depending on the application. The various raw materials are stored in segmented towers, which then blend cement, lime and other aggregates according to specific requirements. In each individual segment, reliable level measurement and point level detection ensure the constant availability of the raw materials and cost-effective operation of the plant.
