Level Measurement of Standard-Grade Potash in Collection Warehouses
Accurately measure levels of finished potash stored in domed warehouses or large silos to reliably monitor inventory.
Reliable Level Monitoring with Non-Contacting Radar Technologies
Standard-grade potash product is transferred to on-site warehouses/large silos/domes. Standard potash is more irregular in size and shape and available in several grades which are stored separately. Standard-grade potash is stored in large domes that can reach 50 m (165 ft) in diameter, making accurate level measurement of the dome’s contents very difficult. This impacts the operator's inventory management and control capabilities.
