LEVEL MEASURING TECHNOLOGY

Various factors determine what level measuring technology is right for you. But for us, the reliability of the measuring technology is always the most critical aspect. The measurement result is influenced by the positioning of the measuring device, proper parametrisation, the silo geometry, the bulk solid characteristics and the correct evaluation or display of the measurement result.
Indeed, there are many factors to consider! We have extensive know-how from thousands of successfully operated measuring points.

Level measuring technology

Electromechanical measurement system
  • Discontinuous way of working
  • Recording of the filling volume 
  • Measuring range up to 30 m

Measurement accuracy:

  • Up to 2% of the silo volume (measurement accuracy in tonnes depending on the accuracy of the determined bulk density)
Radar
  • Continuous way of working
  • Recording of the filling volume 
  • Measuring range up to 120 m
  • Contactless

Measurement accuracy:

  • Up to 2% of the silo volume (measurement accuracy in tonnes depending on the accuracy of the determined bulk density)
Weighing technology
  • Continuous way of working
