Agriculture Fertilizer Distributor Radar Level Transmitter

When a Central California fertilizer and pesticide distributor needed reliable level measurement of their storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm blends and delivers crop nutrition and protection chemicals to hundreds of farmers throughout the valley. Their automated production facility outputs orders for truck fulfillment in bulk, IBC, drum or pale size quantities. The I&E technician experienced intermittent measurement from ultrasonic level sensors on their tall bulk tanks due to vapor, and its attenuating effect on acoustic signals. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR15 radar sensor that’s unaffected by vaporous media. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the tanks and controls their filling, dispensing and alarms. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
