Mixing tower

Mixing plants

Building materials like concrete and mortar are needed in very different compositions depending on the application. To allow the operator to react to the needs of customers as quickly and flexibly as possible, the various raw materials are stored together in a segmented mixing tower. They are later mixed with cement, lime and other substances according to specific formulas. Level measurement inside the individual segments ensures high availability of the raw materials as well as profitable operation of the plant. The tight spaces in the tower and the massive strutting of the dividing walls represent a big challenge for the applied measuring technique.

VEGAPULS 67 for level measurement

Non-contact measurement of abrasive media requires considerably less maintenance than a contacting measurement. The small, compact radar sensor VEGAPULS 67 can be mounted without difficulty under the ceiling and optimally aligned to the bulk solids surface via its adjustable swivel mount.

Reliable limit level measurement in all media with VEGACAP 65

Robust and universally implementable – those are the requirements on limit level measurement in the mixing tower. The capacitive sensor VEGACAP 65 fulfills these requirements perfectly and prevents overfilling when the individual container segments are being charged.
