Level Measurement in Crushed Limestone Silos for Limestone Production
Accurately measure crushed limestone levels despite harsh conditions to ensure continuous supplies for production.
Continuous Inventory Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technology
After the limestone is crushed and sized, it is stored in silos before entering the kiln. Lime generates a great deal of dust during the filling and emptying process. The material tends to become sticky and creates build-up on the silo walls. Since it is an essential raw material, operators need to continuously monitor inventory levels to ensure an ongoing supply to the limestone production process.
