How to choose a level sensor for a large-grain material bin?
Thread Content
There is now a silo containing large-grained material, and it’s necessary to determine the location of this material. At the discharge point, a cone-shaped accumulation of material forms, and the slope of this cone varies. Due to the large size of the particles, radar measurement may not allow the sensor to detect echoes; the signal is intermittent and thus inaccurate. I would appreciate any suggestions from those with expertise on this issue.
Weighing can be considered; Zhongchuang ZhiKong – specialized in industrial weighing
The gross weight of the tank when filled is estimated to be around 40 tons, and the cost of weighing it would be too high.
Generally, there are specialized level sensors, with different types available for the media being measured.
With a limited budget, domestic weighing sensors can be considered; modules with a capacity of around 20T are quite inexpensive, and the entire set costs less than 10,000
Install a few more tuning forks, and add a radar reference as well
