Food Supplement Batch Tank Radar Level Transmitter

When a Midwest manufacturer of protein drinks needed reliable level measurement of their batch mix tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm blends base liquid and powder supplements into custom nutritional products for professional and collegiate sports teams. The mixing process is level and time measured as operators manually fill each tank with batch ingredients. During which, the liquid surface becomes an agitated slurry, and the air gap above the liquid is clouded with dusty powder. As they required non-contact level measurement, the operator previously installed ultrasonic sensors. They worked fine until the dust powder attenuated their acoustic signal. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR10 radar sensor that reliably measures through airborne powder. The radar sensors provide continuous level data to the PLC, which monitors the tanks and controls the mixers. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
