Automotive Paint Mix Tank Ultrasonic Liquid Level Measurement

When a Pacific Rim automative manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their paint mix tanks, they turned to Flowline. The company continuously batches, blends and pumps nine colors through twenty-seven mix tanks to their robotic spray lines. The acrylic polyurethane paint is viscous, coating and flammable, and it becomes very agitated during blending. The mix tank OEM required reliable, non-contact level measurement with intrinsic safety, a metal enclosure and push button display for sensor configuration. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our EchoTouch intrinsically safe ultrasonic level sensor. The ultrasonic sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors each tank and controls paint batch make up and pump transfer. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
