Non-contact level scanning
01 July 2013
Offering an affordable solution specifically for bulk-solid silos, the APM RL 2000 3D scanner from Allison Engineering provides real level measurement based on multiple level readings.
The ATEX certified RL 2000 provides accurate and reliable non-contact, dust penetrating level measurement for the most demanding environments, including flour, cement and biomass materials. It is particularly effective on tall, narrow silos where conventional level technologies fail.
The RL 2000 utilises 3-headed, low frequency (2.7 kHz) transducers which scan the stored product profile to provide operators with a 3D map of the silo. This level of accurate information helps operators to identify both the total inventory and also the product profile which ultimately contributes towards production improved efficiencies and cost savings in stock control.
