Special challenges
Extreme dust generation, filling noise
Application
To ensure continuous production, even if material production is interrupted, the raw materials are stored in large bunkers with heights of over 30 m and diameters of up to 20 m. The large dimensions of the silos require the filling and emptying to take place at multiple points. Uniform filling and emptying of the bunkers is achieved through level measurement at various points in the bunker.
Your benefit
