Danger lurks in, around, and on top of storage silos. In a proactive approach to employee safety, a leading North American cement producer undertook a company-wide initiative to reduce risk. Their solution to keep people firmly grounded in a culture of safety? Automating silo level measurement using a variety of level sensors. The goal of the silo safety initiative was to eliminate the inherent ...
Fast-paced work environments are driving the need for accurate, real-time data. Sensor manufacturers and software developers have been working rigorously to create new and innovative solutions. Is your operation seeking ways to more efficiently monitor inventory? Check out these popular trends. ...
Silos store powders, grains, pellets, and other bulk solids. Without proper monitoring, risks include:Overfilling and spillage leading to safety hazards.Emptying errors disrupting production.Equipment wear due to unexpected bridging or blockages.A well-chosen level sensor prevents these problems while enabling automation and cost savings.What are the Differences ...
Figure 1SEVEN’s 3S-SLS-RP is a compact rotary paddle level sensor for powders and granules in silos, tanks, and bunkers. It runs on 18–30 V DC, provides a dry-contact relay output, and signals status via a red warning lamp. ...
Microwaves generated by radar reflect off various liquid and solid material surfaces, enabling reliable level measurements for many industry applications such as: Water level monitoring in stormwater and sewer (gases) manholes Outdoor environmental flood monitoring in rivers, lakes and oceans Municipal and industrial wastewater tanks with surface foam and ice Oil-water interface detection in ...
Level measurement in cement silos can be challenging due to the dusty, dirty environment. Mechanical or contact solutions are maintenance intensive while manual readings are time consuming and potentially unsafe. For this project, ABM’s non-contact cellular ultrasonic level sensor was selected to monitor a cement tank with a lot of dust. The ultrasonic sensor tracks echoes from the cement ...
A major plastics production plant needed to closely monitor bulk inventory to avoid production delays. The plant provided a variety of products fed from plastic pellet storage silos. The Problem: The plant juggled multiple types, colors, and densities of raw materials to meet production demand. Some bulk inventory was customer-owned Inventory, while other raw materials were company-owned. ...
Cocoa beans and cocoa powder are stored in silos and warehouses. Sometimes beans are stored in their original sacks before they are processed; beans are even sorted according to type. Eventually, cocoa beans are stored in huge silos, many of which hold more than 1,000 tons. For one BinMaster customer, cocoa powder and bean ...
