Weight-type level gauges can measure feed, chemicals, plastic pellets, cement, stones, PVC powder, aggregates, liquids, coal, limestone, ground plastic, sand, powders, grains, oil, and more. Mechanical measurement: simple and reliable, with strong resistance to dust interference. The weight-type level gauge from www.fronlead.com has a measurement range of up to 45.7 meters. It features multiple dust prevention designs (dust brushes, air inlets, and isolation of the measurement chamber), and it is not affected by the humidity or viscosity of the medium. Additionally, the instrument is not influenced by the dielectric constant, conductivity, or thermal conductivity of the medium. This device can also be used to measure special liquids such as mud, slurry, and asphalt (at high temperatures). This device is particularly suitable for level measurement in environments with heavy dust; it overcomes the problem that ultrasonic level gauges cannot penetrate thick dust layers, as well as the issue of dust accumulation at the base of radar level gauge antennas. It is the best choice for applications in environments with heavy dust. The weight-type level gauge consists of a sensor and a meter; the sensor uses a weight-based detection mechanism, and various signals are collected by a specialized acquisition unit, eliminating the need for mechanical contacts and ensuring reliable operation. The sensor is placed on the top of the tank, while the weight is lowered into the tank by a motor using a stainless steel belt or wire rope. The instrument controls the sensor to conduct automatic, timed measurements of the material level; each time a measurement is taken, the weight starts descending from its position at the top of the tank, and once it touches the surface of the material, it returns to the top of the tank to wait for the next measurement. By processing the sensor signals from the descent of the weight, the instrument can determine the distance hl from the top of the silo to the material level. The silo height H is preset by the user; by subtracting hl from H, the material level height h = H – hl can be calculated, and the instrument displays this value of h directly. The system is controlled by a PLC, offering strong functionality, high stability, and simple operation; it is particularly suitable for the level detection and control of powdered, lumpy, granular, and liquid materials in cylindrical silos in industries such as power, metallurgy, cement, coal, chemicals, and food processing. In particular, this level indicator is equipped with a communication function, allowing it to be used independently or connected to a higher-level computer to form a distributed monitoring system. The host computer can manage everything centrally based on the level data sent in from various sites; it displays and prints all information related to each silo, providing the enterprise with the necessary information at any time, **thereby improving the level of scientific management in terms of measurement as well as the economic benefits of the enterprise.
