Level Measurement for Powdered Metal
Accurately measure powdered iron levels in storage silos to prevent process shutdowns
Reliable Monitoring with Level Measurement Instrumentation That Is Unaffected By Dust And Build-up
Iron powder is stored in a silo before it is mixed with bentonite clay/dolomite and limestone in the balling drum. Iron powder generates heavy dust during the filling process and tends to stick to the silo walls, creating rat holes and build-ups. As it is a critical material for the process, the users seek to control and monitor the actual level in the silo, to prevent process stoppages.

- 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.
- 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
