Special challenges
High levels of dust generation
Application
In a feed mill the livestock feed is often stored in narrow concrete silos up to 20 meters high. The filling of the silos generates a lot of dust. At the bottom of the silos, screw conveyors discharge the livestock feed. To avoid idle running of the conveyors or overfilling of the silos, a level measurement is required.
