Dusty Resin Powder Silo Radar Level Transmitter

When a Southeast plastics manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their resin powder silo’s, they turned to Flowline. The plant formulates and produces plastic pellets for use in medical and pharmaceutical grade products. During which, colored resin powder is often blended with other resins to achieve a specified color. Powder inventory management is critical to production, and the company had several failures of mechanical type bob level sensors that clogged and required maintenance. For this reason, Flowline suggested our non-contact LR41 radar sensor that reliably measures powder. The intrinsically safe radar sensors provide continuous level data to the PLC, which monitors the silos and alarms for powder replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
