In modern agriculture and animal husbandry, precise feed management is the key to ensuring animal health and improving production efficiency. The storage tank of the feeding system is the main facility for storing feed, and the accurate measurement of its material level is crucial to the entire feeding process. This article will introduce the characteristics of the material level of the storage tank of the feeding system, and combine it with a practical case to illustrate how the radar level meter plays a role in this field.
Characteristics of the material level in the storage tank of the feeding system: Frequent changes: During the feeding process, the frequency and amount of feeding will vary according to the growth stage and number of animals, resulting in frequent changes in the material level in the storage tank.
Dust problem: Feed is prone to dust during storage and transportation, which will affect the accuracy and stability of traditional material level measurement equipment.
Environmental adaptability: The storage tank is usually placed in an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment and will be affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
The measuring equipment is required to have good environmental adaptability. Maintenance requirements: Due to the special nature of the feed, residues may accumulate inside the storage tank, which requires the measuring equipment to be easy to clean and maintain.
With its non-contact measurement, high accuracy, and strong anti-interference ability, radar level meters have become an ideal choice for material level measurement in storage tanks in feeding systems.
It calculates the material level height by emitting microwave signals and receiving reflected signals. It is not affected by dust, steam and temperature changes, and is very suitable for material level monitoring in feed storage environments.
In the feeding system of a large pig farm, in order to achieve precise feed management and reduce waste, an advanced radar level meter is used to monitor the material level of the storage tank.
The radar level meter is installed on the top of the storage tank and can monitor changes in material level in real time and wirelessly transmit the data to the central control system.
In this way, managers can remotely monitor the material level of each storage tank and adjust the feeding plan in a timely manner.
In addition, the system also has a material level warning function.
When the material level is lower than the set value, the system will automatically remind managers to replenish the material to ensure the continuity and stability of the feeding process.
The application of radar level gauges in the material level measurement of storage tanks in feeding systems not only improves the accuracy and reliability of material level monitoring, but also provides strong technical support for modern feeding management.
