Measuring bulk solids just got more reliable

Accurate and reliable measurement of bulk solid silo levels creates challenges for traditional level measuring devices, especially in very dusty environments. Allison Engineering says its new 3D scanner is an affordable solution.

The APM RL 2000 provides real level measurement based on multiple-level readings. Its non-contact, dust-penetrating level measurement is designed to work in the most demanding environments, including flour and biomass materials. It is particularly effective on tall, narrow silos where conventional level technologies fail.

The RL 2000 utilises three- headed, low frequency (2.7kHz) transducers, which scan the stored product profile to provide operators with a 3D map of the silo. This level of accurate information helps operators to identify both the total inventory and the product profile, which ultimately contributes towards production improved efficiencies and cost savings in stock control.
