Loading systems

Safe, and if possible closed, loading systems are needed for gravel, stone chippings and finished products like cement. Automated truck loading is often desired because it shortens loading and waiting times, increases throughput and, as a result, the profitability of the entire plant. While the loading quantity is being determined by a weighing system two things must be ensured: that the truck is in the right position and that it does not get overfilled. Robust and reliable limit level gauges are much in demand here.

Overfill protection with VEGAWAVE 61

The robust construction and small installation dimensions of VEGAWAVE 61 make it ideal for use in loading facilities. Independent of the density of the bulk material (from 8 g/l), it switches reliably and reproducibly as soon as the bulk solids reach the maximum level. A version with external electronics is available for especially tight installation conditions. A basket guard prevents damage to the tuning fork through improper handling.

Position monitoring with VEGAMIP 61

The microwave barrier VEGAMIP 61 is designed primarily for limit level detection of bulk solids. Combined with certain antenna versions, however, it can also be used to detect the position of a truck precisely and quickly, taking the width of the loading station into account. When a truck comes in, its parking position is recognized and signalled by VEGAMIP 61.
