In the metallurgical industry, coke is an important raw material, and its storage and measurement accuracy are directly related to production efficiency and cost control.
As a common storage facility, the accurate measurement of material level in coke greenhouses is particularly important. This article will introduce the basic concepts of coke greenhouses, elaborate on the application and advantages of radar level meters in coke greenhouse material level measurement, and finally demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of radar level meters through actual measurement cases.
Coke greenhouses are huge warehouse-like structures used to store coke. They are usually built of steel structures or concrete and can hold large amounts of coke.
Coke is an indispensable raw material in the iron-making process, so ensuring the stability of its supply and the accuracy of its measurement is crucial for steel companies.
The internal space of the greenhouse is wide, which is convenient for the operation of large machinery and the transportation of materials. It also needs to be equipped with an effective material level measurement system to ensure accurate monitoring of coke inventory.
Radar level gauge is a device that uses microwave signals for non-contact measurement. It emits microwave signals, which are reflected back after encountering the surface of the material, and the height of the material level is calculated based on the time difference of the echoes.
This measurement method is not affected by harsh environments such as dust, steam or high and low temperatures, and has the advantages of high accuracy, fast response and strong reliability.
In complex environments such as coke greenhouses, radar level meters can provide continuous and stable material level data, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of material management.
Due to the huge internal space and irregular coke accumulation in the coke greenhouse of a steel company, traditional measurement methods are difficult to meet the needs for real-time and accurate monitoring. The company decided to use radar level gauges to replace the original measurement system.
After the radar level meter was installed, the accuracy of the measurement data was ensured by adjusting the device’s parameter settings to suit the dielectric constant and reflection characteristics of the coke. In actual operation, the radar level meter successfully realized real-time monitoring of the material level of the coke greenhouse.
Even in high temperature and dusty environments, radar level meters can work stably and provide accurate material level information. In addition, the system can also predict coke usage trends through data analysis, providing strong data support for the company’s production scheduling and material replenishment.
Radar level gauge has significant advantages in coke greenhouse material level measurement. It not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of measurement, but also provides strong technical support for production management and cost control of steel companies.
