Over 35 years in operation – precision you can rely on

Reliable level measurement in silos is essential for efficient processes in the plastics industry. A real-world application shows how UWT level sensors continue to deliver precise and stable measurement results even after more than 35 years.

CHALLENGE: UNRELIABLE LEVEL READINGS AND RISING COSTS
At an industrial facility with storage silos for plastic granules, the operators faced a familiar issue:
The level readings had been displayed unreliably for years.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Five silos, each approximately 9 m (30 ft) high and 3.5 m (11.5 ft) in diameter, were filled alternately with different types of granules. However, the displayed values could no longer be trusted.

* The result:
Material was ordered only when needed – without reliable planning.
With fluctuating plastic prices, this led to unnecessary costs and additional effort.
