Resin Bulk Transfer Station Radar Level Measurement

When a Northeast chemical manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their transfer tanks, they turned to Flowline. The firm manufacturers water-based resins, adhesives and polymers that are delivered in tanker trucks or IBC totes. The chemicals are sticky, vaporous and mildly foaming when agitated. Tanker loads are transferred to the fill station and dispensed into trucks. There the operator complained that previous ultrasonic level sensors became erratic during and shortly after pump transfer due to vapor or foam, and he needed reliable measurement with spill prevention. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our LR15 radar sensor that’s unaffected by vapor or foam, coupled with our AX13 level controller for high level spill protection. The radar sensors provides reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors the tanks and controls the fill station. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
