See through silo walls without touching product
Food manufacturers find non-contact level sensors attractive for a number of reasons. Of course, since nothing comes into contact with the material, there’s no risk of equipment interfering with the process or rogue parts breaking off and getting stuck in equipment or contaminating ingredients intended for human consumption. Plus, they provide continuous level measurement for optimizing inventory and preventing silos from running empty. No food manufacturer wants to risk tagging a bad batch due to a missing ingredient. Today’s most popular non-contact technologies are laser, radar, and 3D scanners.
