Level Measurement for Sinter Ore Storage in Metal Ore Processing
Accurately measure sinter ore levels in storage silos despite the complex and harsh storage environment
Continuous Level Monitoring with Non-contacting Radar Technology
Sinter ore is stored in silos prior to being transferred /shipped. Sinter ore creates a very dusty environment during the filling process and tends to stick to the silo walls, forming build-up inside the silo. Sinter ore storage silos are typically very large. The combination of large silos and a harsh storage environment makes it difficult for the user to continuously monitor inventory levels.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount™ 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter uses enhanced technology and Human Centered Design to deliver accurate, reliable measurements on both liquid and solid materials. Using two-wire FMCW and Smart Echo Supervision technologies, the Rosemount 5408 deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement. Delivering ease-of-use at every touch point, the Rosemount 5408 uses an intuitive software interface to guide the operator through installation, commissioning, proof-testing and maintenance. Powerful onboard diagnostics suite proactively monitors transmitter health and alerts if there is an issue. Safety certified to IEC 61508 for SIL 2 applications, the Rosemount 5408:SIS reduces cost of risk, increases efficiency and protects people and the environment.
- 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.
- Low 12V dc lift-off voltage
- Immune to intermittent power loss

Rosemount solids level switches provide flexible measurement of powders, grains, and pellets. Their compact size makes them suitable for installation in all sizes of vessels and silos. Four different technologies are available, so you can find the right solution for your process.
- Rosemount solid switches are maintenance free
- Rotatable and robust die-cast aluminium housing that allows orientation of electrical connection after mechanical installation
- Rosemount solid switches are insensitive to temperature or pressure changes
