Storage of mineral rock, gravel and sand

Large silos for stocking

To ensure continuous production in case supply falters, the raw materials are stocked in large bunkers with a height of over 30 m and a diameter of up to 20 m. The huge dimen-sions of the silos make filling and emptying at several places necessary. An even filling and emptying of the bunker is ensured by measuring the level at different places inside the bunker.

Level measurement with VEGAPULS 68

The radar sensor VEGAPULS 68, which was especially developed for bulk solids applications, measures the level without being bothered in the least by dust, abrasion, product dampness and filling noise. Horn and parabolic antennas are available for reliable handling of measuring ranges up to 75 m. Through the use of multiple radar sensors, different filling points can be measured and an even distribution of material ensured. The different measurement setups do not influence each other.

Level detection with VEGACAP 65

The capacitive level switch VEGACAP 65 is a tried-andtrue solution for reliable bunker overfill protection. Its robust construction makes it ideal for rough operating conditions.
