When an East Coast food packaging manufacturer needed reliable level measurement of their plastic pellet silos, they turned to Flowline. The company produces plastic to-go-containers for restaurants, universities and convenience stores. These are typically opaque containers with translucent lids constructed of molded polypropylene. Three tall silos provide a steady supply of pellets to their molding machines. There the operator said that previous ultrasonic level sensors were erratic, had caused several outages, and they needed reliable measurement. For this reason, Flowline suggested our radar sensors that are ideal for plastic pellets. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to their automation software, which monitors the silos and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
