Today, Silver Automation Instruments is excited to share a solution we have developed for our customers to measure Plastic Granules Level. Plastic Granules are a common raw material that plays a crucial role in the plastic manufacturing process. However, accurate measurement of Plastic Granules Level is essential to ensure smooth production processes. Therefore, we have designed an efficient and accurate solution for our customers to accurately measure Plastic Granules Level and achieve their production goals. Let's take a closer look at the details of this solution.
customers have 4 silos as above dimensions
Introduction:
In our customer’s factory, they have 4 silos with a height of 30 meters each, where they store plastic granules. To accurately measure the level of plastic granules in each silo and calculate the weight inside, we have chosen the SKRD87-P-MW-D-FC-A-B-B-M-A radar level meter.
Radar Level Meter:
The SKRD87-P-MW-D-FC-A-B-B-M-A radar level meter is equipped with SDRD 87 series 80G radar technology, allowing for precise measurement of the level of plastic granules in the silos.
The 80G radar level transmitter has several advantages, including high accuracy, reliability, and versatility. It can measure a wide range of materials, from liquids to solids, and is unaffected by temperature, pressure, or dust. Its compact size and easy installation make it ideal for various industrial applications. Additionally, it offers advanced signal processing capabilities for precise and consistent measurements. Overall, the 80G radar provides a cost-effective solution for accurate level measurement in challenging environments.
The explosion proof design ensures safety, while the stainless steel 316L antenna and PP material provide durability in varying temperatures. The radar is connected to the process using a Gimbal flange, allowing for easy installation and adjustment. By making slight adjustments to the flange installation angle, the best angle for solid measurement and optimal signal can be achieved. This ensures accurate and reliable measurement of Plastic Granules Level, helping our customers to maintain efficient production processes and achieve their desired outcomes.
Integral Display:
To display the level height of plastic granules in each silo, we have installed 4 integral displays. These displays provide real-time information on the level of plastic granules, allowing for easy monitoring and management of inventory.
Cable Connection:
To connect the radar level meter to the integral display, we have installed 50 meters of cable between each radar sensor and integral display. This ensures seamless communication and accurate data transmission for efficient monitoring of the plastic granules level.
Measurement and Weight Calculation:
Using the radar level meter and volume meter display, we are able to accurately measure the level of plastic granules in each silo. By inputting the dimensions of the silo and the density of the plastic granules, we can calculate the volume of plastic granules in each silo and determine the weight. This information is crucial for inventory management and production planning.
Conclusion:
With the installation of radar level meters, integral displays, and cable connections, we have enhanced our ability to measure the level of plastic granules in our silos and calculate the weight inside. This technology not only improves efficiency in inventory management but also ensures accurate data for production planning. We are confident that these upgrades will optimize our operations and contribute to the overall success of our factory.
