In the rapid development of the building materials industry, the storage and dispatch of materials are important links to ensure production efficiency and reduce costs.
As a flexible and efficient way of storing materials, mobile silos’ accurate measurement of material levels is directly related to the continuity and automation level of production.
In this context, radar level gauges have become the core technology for mobile silo level measurement due to their advantages such as high accuracy and strong stability.
Radar level meter is a device that uses microwave signals to measure material level. It emits microwaves and receives the reflected signals to calculate the height of the material based on the time difference or frequency difference. In mobile silos in the building materials industry, the application of radar level meters has the following advantages: Radar level meters can provide non-contact measurement methods.
This means that it can measure without direct contact with materials, which is particularly important in harsh environments such as dust and high temperatures in the building materials industry. Non-contact measurement not only reduces equipment wear and maintenance costs, but also avoids material contamination problems that may occur due to contact.
The radar level meter has high measurement accuracy and can achieve real-time monitoring. In building materials production, accurate material level information is crucial for controlling the production process.
Radar level gauges can provide millimeter-level accuracy, allowing every aspect of the production process to be accurately controlled. In addition, its real-time monitoring function ensures timely feedback of material level information and provides strong data support for production scheduling.
The radar level meter is easy to install and has strong adaptability. Mobile silos come in many sizes and shapes, and radar level gauges can be easily installed to adapt to different silo designs.
Whether it is a round, square or other special-shaped silo, the radar level meter can be easily adapted, which greatly reduces the difficulty of equipment modification and upgrade.
In addition, radar level gauges have low maintenance costs and long service life. Due to its non-contact measurement method, radar level gauges have low losses and require relatively little maintenance.
At the same time, high-quality radar level meters usually have a long service life, which saves companies a lot of equipment update and maintenance costs.
In actual application cases, the use effect of radar level gauge has been widely verified. For example, in a large cement production company, precise control of the cement powder level in the mobile silo was achieved by installing a radar level meter.
This not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the risk of production interruptions due to insufficient or excess material levels. However, although radar level meters have shown significant advantages in mobile silo level measurement, some details still need to be paid attention to in practical applications.
For example, different materials have different reflection characteristics, and the parameters of the radar level meter may need to be adjusted to suit the specific material type. In addition, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, etc. may also affect the accuracy of measurement. Therefore, when selecting and installing radar level meters, these factors need to be considered comprehensively.
