Cement silo
Level and pressure measurement and point level detection in cement silos
Level and pressure measurement and point level detection in cement silos
Process data
Measuring task:
Level and pressure measurement, point level detection
Measuring point:
Silo
Measuring range up to:
50 m
Medium:
Cement
Process temperature:
-40 … +50 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Strong dust generation, buildup
Application
Before further processing, the cement is stored in tall silos. The cement is transported both in and out of the silo via pneumatic conveying. Efficient storage and transport of the product is ensured by accurate level measurement and point level detection, as well as also monitoring the pneumatic conveying system pressure.
