When a Gulf Coast wood processing plant needed reliable level measurement of their chip and pellet silos, they turned to Flowline. Harvested logs are stripped, chipped, milled, blended with vegetable oil, and pressed and dried into pellets, prior to rail shipment to power plants, where the pellets are combined with coal and burned. These silos are tall, dusty applications with frequent fill and empty cycles, and their continuous process demands measurement reliability. Further, the operators wanted to directly replace a competitive yellow brand with a gimbal flange installation. For this reason, Flowline suggested the use of our solids radar level sensors that work with chips, pellets or powders in dust with varying angles of repose. The radar sensor provides continuous level data to the PLC, which in turn, monitors the silos and controls the process. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
