Measuring range up to
50 m
Medium
Stones, gravel and sand
Process temperature
-40 … +50 °C
Process pressure
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges
Weather conditions such as rain, snow and wind
Application
After being crushed, screened and sorted into different grain sizes, the gravel and sand are transported on conveyors and stored in large stockpiles. To automate the stockpiling levels and enable the optimum area to be filled, a reliable level measurement is essential.
