Level Measurement Challenges in Cullet Silos: Reflectivity And Irregular Shapes Pose Challenges

Crushed glass silo level measurement is a challenging task in industrial production. Due to the characteristics of cullet, such as irregular shape, fragility and reflectivity, it is difficult to accurately measure its material level in actual measurements. This article will introduce the material level characteristics of cullet silos in detail, and analyze the application of Silo Radar Level Gauge in cullet silo material level measurement based on actual cases.

The characteristics of the material level of the cullet silo mainly include the following aspects: Irregular material shape: The cullet shows an irregular shape, which causes the density and volume of the material accumulation to change greatly, making it difficult to measure the material level. Materials with strong reflectivity: Broken glass has strong reflectivity and strong absorption and scattering effects on radar waves, which may cause severe attenuation of measurement signals and affect measurement accuracy. Poor material fluidity: Broken glass is easily stuck between pieces, resulting in poor fluidity and affecting the normal flow and emptying of materials. Harsh measurement environment: Crushed glass silos are usually located in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and dust, which place high requirements on the durability and stability of measurement equipment.

In order to accurately measure the material level of the broken glass silo, we need to choose a material level meter suitable for this special environment. The actual application case of radar level meter in Crushed glass silo level measurement is as follows: In order to recycle and process the cullet produced during the production process, a glass manufacturing company uses a large cullet silo. In order to monitor the level of broken glass in the silo in real time, the company decided to use Silo Radar Level Gauge for measurement. After surveying the site environment and selecting a Solid radar level meter, the company finally selected a high-frequency radar level meter.

The Solid radar level mete uses advanced signal processing technology to reduce the impact of reflection and scattering of broken glass on the measurement signal. At the same time, the equipment also has high temperature resistance, dustproof, waterproof and other functions, and can adapt to the harsh environment of broken glass silos. After the installation was completed, the Silo Radar Level Gauge began to monitor the material level of the broken glass silo in real time. By comparing with the actual situation on site, the radar level meter showed good measurement accuracy and stability in the cullet silo. Even under complex conditions such as poor material fluidity, irregular material shape, and strong reflectivity, the equipment can still provide accurate material level information, providing strong support for enterprise production.
