When a Pennsylvania manufacturer of sanitary food and beverage packaging needed reliable level measurement of their coating storage tanks, they turned to Flowline. Lacquer and varnish coatings are widely used to seal their product boxes, labels and packaging. These finishes are viscous and sticky, and they adhere to anything they contact. Additionally, they’re highly vaporous, which caused their previous ultrasonic level sensors to perform erratically. For this reason, Flowline suggested the use of our non-contact, radar level sensors that are unaffected by extreme vapor. The radar sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which monitors their coating inventories and alarms for replenishment. Flowline is reliable level measurement. |
