The monitoring of salt silo levels is of great importance for salt production. In order to achieve efficient storage and management, a radar level meter is widely used in salt bin level monitoring as a high-precision and reliable measurement technology.
In this paper, we will discuss the characteristics of salt bin levels and the advantages of a radar level meter in salt bin measurement, and give a practical measurement case to verify the effectiveness of a radar level meter in salt bin.
Salt silo level monitoring has the following characteristics. Particle characteristics of salt: Salt particles are small in size and meticulously crystallized, which can easily form particle buildup. Traditional measurement methods may lead to adhesion and accumulation of materials, affecting the accuracy of measurement results.
Humid environment of salt: Salt silos are often in a high-humidity environment, and salt particles may absorb moisture and form a humid condition. Traditional measurement methods may cause problems such as adhesion and clogging of sensors due to humidity.
Corrosiveness of salt: Due to the high corrosiveness of salt, traditional measurement methods may be corroded during long-term contact with salt materials, affecting equipment life and measurement accuracy.
As a high-precision measurement technology, the radar level meter can effectively overcome the difficulties of salt bin level monitoring: Anti-adhesion and accumulation: radar level meter adopts a non-contact measurement principle, which can effectively avoid the influence of salt particles adhesion and accumulation on the measurement and provide accurate and reliable level measurement values.
High temperature and humidity resistance: The radar level meter has the characteristics of high temperature and humidity resistance, which can adapt to the wet and high-temperature environment in the salt silo to ensure the stability and reliability of the measuring equipment.
Corrosion resistance: The radar level meter is made of corrosion-resistant materials, which can resist the corrosion of salt and effectively extend the service life of the equipment.
A salt producer faces the problem of salt bin level measurement, where accurate level data cannot be obtained in a high humidity, stacking-prone environment, resulting in less efficient and accurate salt bin storage management. To solve these problems, radar level meters were used to solve them.
First of all, radar level meters with high temperature and humidity resistance are selected, and reasonable installation locations are chosen to avoid the effects of moisture and heat on the equipment.
The measuring antenna of the radar level meter adopts a special design, which can effectively avoid the adhesion and accumulation of salt particles and ensure measurement accuracy.
In practical application, the salt enterprise has successfully used the radar level meter to solve the problem of salt bin level measurement. Through the application of the radar level meter, they obtained accurate and reliable salt bin level data and were able to monitor the storage of salt powder in real-time.
This enables them to reasonably arrange the production plan, replenish the salt powder in time, improve the production efficiency and resource utilization, and the radar level meter has important application advantages in the salt bin level measurement.
