When a Southeast adhesive manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their customer bulk storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. They supply hot melts, glues and resins to furniture and building material manufacturers. As the chemicals are quite viscous, they’re transported, stored and dispensed at elevated temperature. The operator stated that past pressure level sensors failed due to clogging and ultrasonic level sensors failed due to vapor attenuation. He also wanted an indicator that the driver could monitor during tank filling with a high and low-level alarm. For these reasons, Flowline suggested our non-contact radar sensor that’s unaffected by vapor, packaged with a controller. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the controller, which displays gallons and actuates alarms. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
