Cement Batch Mix Plant Silo Radar Level Measurement

When a Nevada concrete plant needed reliable level measurement of their batch mix silos, they turned to Flowline. The firm supplies ready mix concrete, rock and sand to Las Vegas contractors. Concrete orders are custom batched, blended and delivered via mix truck. During which, water, sand, powder and aggregate are dispensed into batch bins, weighed, mixed and loaded on to trucks. The bulk cement, fly ash and mineral powder inputs are contained in silos. There the technician said that prior radar level sensors became intermittent due to powder build up, and required ongoing antenna maintenance. For this reason, Flowline suggested our robust LR46 radar sensor with a parabolic antenna that’s unaffected by buildup, and ideal for cement silo applications. The radar sensors provides reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the silos and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
