Seeking advice on level measurement solutions
Thread Content
As shown in the figure: Process overview: An ore cart dumps the ore into a chute, which then discharges the ore onto a motorized cart for transport. The height of this chute is approximately 100 meters. To prevent the chute from becoming empty and causing the motorized cart to be damaged when the ore falls, a certain amount of ore must remain in the chute. At the same time, the chute should not be too full; it is necessary to measure the level of ore in it (both high and low levels can be measured, using either digital or analog signals). What is the best method for performing such measurements? Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Good heavens, can this be solved on a chemical engineering forum? . .
Only contactless methods can be used, such as rays
Technologies are all interconnected; it’s about pooling ideas together :)
It’s hard to imagine; there must be a lot of ore dust. Radar and ultrasonic sensors are likely not usable, and contact-based methods would damage the equipment. What can be used to support the ore at the bottom of the shaft? You can think of ways here
It seems that radioactivity is a good option; just select the appropriate dose based on the operating conditions
What type of control is used for the gates at the loading area? Can a pressure detection device be installed?
You made me laugh! :lol
It’s better to install a camera so that one can keep an eye on things, or use manual measurement methods. The conditions here are too harsh; I’ll wait for someone more knowledgeable to give an answer! :lol
