Storage Silo Pressure and Level Measurement
Accurate pressure and level measurement in storage silos is essential for ensuring process efficiency and industrial safety. Overfilling, underutilization, or unexpected pressure changes can disrupt operations, damage equipment, and compromise safety standards.
Designed to enhance operational reliability and minimize risks, our solutions provide real-time data for optimized inventory management, process control, and compliance with safety regulations.
Silo Protection Systems
SHIELD Lite Silo Protection System is an advanced solution designed to prevent over-pressurization during the pneumatic filling of powder storage silos.
Over-pressurization can lead to serious risks, including silo rupture or the ejection of filter units, posing significant safety hazards. The SHIELD Lite system addresses these concerns with a comprehensive, failsafe design that ensures both safety and operational efficiency.
Key Features:
-
Ground Level Testing (GLT): A single key-turn initiates a full-function test of all crucial safety components.
-
Failsafe Design: The system alerts users to any issues before or during a fill, thereby preventing potential hazards.
-
Pressure and Vacuum Control: If a vacuum is detected, the system fully opens both the inlet and pressure relief valves to eliminate the vacuum, preventing silo damage.
-
Integrated Components: The compact, all-in-one design includes a pre-wired level probe, pressure sensor, and pressure relief valve (PRV) test mechanism.
-
Advanced Monitoring: The system provides real-time monitoring and diagnostic tools, indicating issues such as blocked filtration or unsafe delivery driver behavior.
Continuous Level Measurement
Accurate continuous level measurement in storage silos is essential for maintaining process efficiency and ensuring industrial safety. We offer a range of advanced technologies tailored to various applications:
Radar Level Measurement
Utilizing non-contact radar technology, these sensors provide precise level monitoring for both liquids and solids. They are immune to dust, vacuum, humidity, foam, and variations in pressure, dielectric, and temperature, making them suitable for challenging environments. Our products include 24 GHz and 80 GHz options, catering to different requirements.
TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry)
Also known as guided wave radar, TDR employs a probe or cable lowered into the vessel to measure product levels. This contact-based method is ideal for reliable monitoring, unaffected by dust, vacuum, humidity, foam, and variations in pressure, dielectric, and temperature. The VF Series TDR family offers a wide range of gauges and level indicators to meet diverse needs.
Ultrasonic Level Measurement
Ultrasonic sensors provide a cost-effective, non-contact solution for level monitoring. They are suitable for various applications, including sludge blanket monitoring and bin level indication. The ultrasonic technology offers simple and reliable measurement options for both liquids and solids.
Level Switches
Our level switch solutions provide reliable point-level detection for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed for precision and durability, these switches help prevent overflows, ensure accurate inventory control, and maintain process safety.
With solutions tailored to various materials and conditions, we enhance operational efficiency and reliability.
