Technical Challenges Of Radar Level Gauge in Solid Silos: Radar Technology Response

According to the feedback from the field technicians who installed the Solid silo radar level meter in SOLIDAT, some users encountered difficulties in measuring the level of large solid silos, especially in the feeding state full of dust and disturbance, within a distance of 50/100 meters. Silo. Common capacitive or guided wave radar instruments may be subject to strong tension loads when discharging materials, resulting in damage to the instrument or damage to the warehouse roof. Heavy hammers often have buried hammer problems and require frequent maintenance.

However, the High frequency radar level meter performs particularly well in level measurement of such large solid silos. The higher the working frequency of the high-frequency Solid silo radar level meter, the shorter the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, and it is easier to obtain better reflection on inclined solid surfaces. It has a narrower beam width and can effectively avoid obstacles while using smaller antenna. Therefore, High frequency radar level meter can provide accurate and reliable measurement results in solid measurement, and is also widely used in media in chemical, metallurgy, cement and other industries.

Radar level meter is suitable for almost all working conditions, and its overall performance is better than other measuring instruments. This is why SOLIDAT has always attached great importance to radar technology and continuously improved radar products. However, not all working conditions are suitable for using radar level meters to solve measurement problems. Therefore, when selecting a level instrument, it is necessary to distinguish between the working conditions and process requirements of different media and select the appropriate instrument.
