Industry
Building materials & cement
At cement plants and concrete batching facilities, dosing accuracy and silo inventory control are critical. RETTAR radar technology withstands the heavy dust and build-up typical of this industry.
Typical applications and solutions
Cement level control in silos
Continuous cement and lime level control in silos enables accurate supply planning and finished product dispatch.
Measurement challenges
Heavy dust, material build-up on the walls, condensation.
Solution
CFR6900 bulk solids radar level meter
3D inventory of aggregate stockpiles (crushed stone, sand)
Calculating the volume of non-metallic material stock at open storage sites provides accurate data for procurement and production planning.
Measurement challenges
Uneven pile surface, shape changes during loading and unloading.
Solution
3DPro2300 radar 3D scanner
Level control in batching plant dosing bins
Accurate dosing of concrete mix components by level in weighing bins ensures consistent finished mix quality.
Measurement challenges
Vibration from dosing equipment, fast loading/unloading dynamics.
Solution
2DPro2100 radar 2D scanner
High-level alarm in clinker receiving bins
Timely alarms prevent overflow and downtime on the clinker kiln line.
Measurement challenges
High temperature, heavy dust, material abrasiveness.
Solution
