Case details

Flour and sugar are the basic ingredients for many foods and are generally stored in silos up to 20 meters high. Feeding and discharging are usually carried out by pneumatic conveyors, which move materials from large storage silos to small transition silos for subsequent processing. During this time, the feeding and discharging process is controlled by continuously measuring the silos with a level meter and the delivery pipes with a pressure transmitter.

Case details

In the stirred yoghurt fermenter, the lactose in milk is heated at a certain temperature and converted into lactic acid. During this process, the milk gradually becomes mellow and develops a sour taste. The fermented yogurt needs to be cooled, after which berries, nuts, or grains can be added to make fruit yogurt. In order to stably control the feeding process, it is necessary to measure the liquid level and set limits.

Case details

Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is a raw material for gum base, which is prepared using a reactor with four layers of stirring paddles. The paddles mix the different ingredients together so that they begin to react. Reliable level measurement is essential to ensure uninterrupted production processes.

Case details

A single variety of flour needs to be stored in very narrow, small-diameter vertical silos, which are fed pneumatically. In order to produce mixed flour in predetermined proportions, it is necessary to reliably measure the level of flour in each silo. The measured process conditions include dust, strong airflow, and poor reflection properties of the medium.

Case details

The crushed malt is mixed with brewing water to make a mash, which is heated in a saccharifying pot, and its own hydrolase converts the insoluble starch into soluble maltose. In this process, all the nutrients in the malt will be dissolved into the brewing water. Next, the mash is filtered to separate the wort from the solids. Continuous level measurement is essential during the heating process.

Case details

At the malting plant, barley is stored in silos up to 20 meters high before being processed into malt. During feeding, a large amount of dust is generated in the silos. In addition, when feeding and discharging, the accumulation angle of the grain will constantly change. Level measurement can ensure the smooth operation of the process, feedback the level height of the grain, and alarm when the grain reaches the limit.

Case details

The ingredients for brewing beer, including hops, malt, syrup, etc., are stored in large feedstock silos. In order to ensure continuous production, it is necessary to continuously monitor the material level.
