Level measurement in silo applications

What is measured and for what reason:

Solid measurement in silo’s, like Grain, Barley, Cacao, Coffee or Sugar.

Why is it special:

Grains, Coffee or Cacao beans produce an indifferent echo for ultra sonic systems. The systems often need ex approval due to dust explosions. The surrounding is mostly dusty.

How can it be solved best:


The Endress+Hauser Levelflex FMP, guided radar with rod or rope, gives a clear signal, even in dusty environment, also during loading the silo.

The sensor can be installed also in silos that are already in use and half full.
