Level Measurement Cement Silo

Posted in: , on 28. Oct. 2020 - 20:36

Hi

we need best supplier for cement silo level measurement

we have cement close cement silo , height 10.7m , diameter 4.3 m. cement loading 550 kg/min , discharge 600 kg/min rate. inside silo is highly dust environment.

we need measure level of cement.

I planning to fixed radar type sensor. selected from VEGA 69 , unfortunately very difficult to get quotation

so any one suggest similar sensor for same or other brands ?

plant to office wiring distance 100m, we looking for mod bus , profibus PA ,4- 20 mA interface with sensor display.

any interesting , please mail me to get correct RFQ

DearUditha,

In a cement silo you need at least 2 level testers.

1) high level tester, giving a signal that the feeding must be stopped and the silo loading system still can be emptied.

2) high/high level signal, giving a signal that stops the silo feeding automatically, leaving the silo loading system filled with cement.

These level testers are normally capacitive rod testers.

Do not forget a silo safety valve and a properly sized filter assembly.

The third level tester is an option, which can display the cement silo content.

This level tester can be a long wire capacitive tester.

Dear Uditha

You need at least 2 level testers:

1) high level tester. The silo loading must be stopped, whereby the system can be emptied

2) high/high level. The silo loading is automatically stopped, leaving the loading system filled fith cemebt

For this application, normally is a capacitive rod sensor used

Do not forget a silo safety valve and a properly designed filter assembly

The third option is a level tester, which measures the silo content volume.

For this application, a long wire capacitive sensor is used.

Dear uditha ,

A cement silo requires always 2 level testers:

1)High level, where the loading must be stopped, but the loading installation can still be emptied.

2)High/high level. The loading installation is automatically and immediately stopped

For these level testers a capacitive rod tester is usually used. VEGACAL62

As an option, a level measurement tester can be used, where the volume content of the silo is measured.

For this application, a long wire capacitive tester is used. VEGACAL65

Dear Mr. Tesus ,

Thanks got yours valuable input , last time I spoke to VEGA and they suggest VEGA 69 (Raddar ) this is most best for level measurement.

I think Vega69 will be given point measurement , even guided raddar and guided capactive also same

Silo after filling top profile is not flat , its like convex , after discharging its like concave.

(Refer drawing )

consider of silo diameter (4.3 m) , there for getting point measurement , getting volume of product have big error. they need to get cement volume

any instrument designer (even texas or NI ) can produce Radio wave forms (Raddar) for refelect complete convex or concave complex shape , so we can think volume.

or I suggest small mechanism.

sensor fixed to roarty servo and linear combination axis. rotary measurement 30deg/step , linear measurment -4 samples for each radisus. then we can capture 4 X (360/30) = 16 measurments

so after that create 3D mesh - matlabsimullink

Siemence software (TIA protal) is compatible to MatLAB

my problem is this is so complex ?

so do you think what is the best option , or my concept is wrong ?

dear Mr. Tesus ,

I got a good solution for BIN Masters, they have multiple bob scanners and 3D scanners for bulk silo measurement

they have software and hardware, I attached their white paper

this is very good.

https://www.binmaster.com/industries/application/cement

the file is too large, difficult to attached

thanks for your cooperation and support
