Ultrasonic technology used extensively in the primaries industry

Ultrasonic technology has been used extensively in the primaries industry, on applications such as sand, gravel, quarries, cement, ready-mixed, lime, coal, animal feed, aggregates and plastic pellets.

 

 

These industries present some challenging level measurement applications for ultrasonic: high temperatures, dusty environment and uneven surfaces.

During a process, the products generate noise, dust and air movement, which can result loss of the signal.

In order to overcome these obstacles, the sensor should be highly sensitive to low echoes and should include a built-in temperature sensor in order to compensate for temperature variations.

The 25 KHz Sensors (used with SmartScan 25) can successfully cope with these demanding applications. They offer low loss of energy, can reach long distances, have high sensitivity to echoes and don’t result in acoustic problems (frequencies lower than 20Khz may create acoustic problems, since these frequencies are within hearing range.)

 

Product Suitability：

SmartScan 25 is a family of ultrasonic continuous level measurement instruments that directly address the most pressing challenges in the field.

Due to Solidat’s patented technology, SmartScan 25 can cope with the most difficult environments.

SmartScan 25 Integrates the following modules:

Dynamic and static echo control features an innovative algorithm enabling automatic (dynamic) identification, learning and storage in memory of disturbances and noises without human intervention.

Temperature control rapidly compensates for changes in temperature and corrects the reading accordingly.

Gain control’s special algorithm enables full monitoring of the signal amplification received from the sensor, and ensures an accurate and reliable reading even in the presence of gases or vapors.
