Powder and Bulk Solid Storage Tanks

Point Level detection in powder and dry bulk solid storage tank, hopper, bin or silo.

Application

Real World Example

Storage tanks, silos and bins are commonly used throughout a variety of industries to store powders and dry bulk solid materials, including cement, flour, grains, lime, sand, plastic pellets and aggregates. Proper level monitoring of these materials not only prevents overfills, but also helps ensure materials never run out. Maintaining adequate levels of materials in these tanks is critical in achieving and maintaining operational efficiency.

Point Level Switches can be utilized for high or low level alarm as well as plugged pipe/chute detection. Optional cable style probes provide flexibility and are well suited for applications with large sized, heavy materials such as coal or aggregates.

Industries: Oil & Gas, Refining, Petrochemical, Wastewater, Cement, Power Generation, Food & Beverage, Aggregate, Paper and Recycling.
