Level Measurement of Stored Sugar for Cereal Production
Accurately monitor sugar inventory levels despite difficult dusty and sticky material conditions.
Continuous Level Measurement with Radar and Point Level Technologies
Sugar is an important ingredient in the production of cereal and is stored in silos before being mixed with the grains. Sugar and sugar dust tend to accumulate, creating build-up and rat holes. Moreover, the materials' sticky nature challenges level measurements as they need to operate even when wetted parts become coated. These material properties make continuous and accurate assessment of sugar inventory levels particularly challenging.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater, utilities and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology and features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new and existing systems.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Compact and robust design to withstand harsh environments, designed for outdoor conditions, submersion and hazardous location installations
- Simple configuration over your tablet/mobile device via Bluetooth® wireless technology
Communication Protocol
Bluetooth® wireless technology, 2-wire 4-20 mA HART or 3-wire 4-20 mA, IO-Link, Switch
Interoperability
Process connections and accessories sold separately. See Product Data Sheet for complete list of brackets, flanges, IO-Link accessories, etc.

The Rosemount 3408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter, with Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, offers enhanced reliability for level measurement and overfill prevention.
- It supports wireless and remote configuration through optional Bluetooth® for the wired model or WirelessHART® for automated measurements in hard-to-reach areas, cutting down wiring costs.
- The transmitter's smart diagnostics package provides real-time monitoring, remote testing, health checks, and historical data access, enhancing safety, efficiency, and proactive maintenance.
- Safety certifications, including SIL2 (IEC61508) and NAMUR type testing, along with remote proof-testing, ensure protection for people, assets, and the environment.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars (except for wireless models) automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Lens antenna available for very small process fittings (3/4") and with optional bracket mount
- All PTFE wetted parts allow for use in harsh conditions, such as corrosive medias
