Level Measurement of Instant Coffee Granules in Coffee Processing
Accurately measure levels of instant or freeze-dried coffee to ensure reliable inventory tracking into packaging.
Continuous Inventory Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technology
Concentrated liquid coffee is either evaporated for instant coffee powder or frozen and dried in a vacuum for freeze-dried coffee granules. Accurately maintaining and knowing the bin’s content is important as the dried coffee is accumulated and delivered to the packaging stage.

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
