　　How much material is left in the silo/storage tank/reactor?This seemingly simple matter cannot be taken lightly in real production.

Especially for industries with high precision requirements such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical, inaccurate liquid level measurement not only affects the filling effect, but is also closely related to the stability of the feeding process, production continuity, quality consistency, and safety supervision.

Every measurement technique requiresFacing the test of actual working conditionsBut the ultimate goal is only one: to accurately measure the material level under any conditions.

　　Traditional liquid level measurement methods

　　Measure indirect signals

There are various methods for measuring liquid levels in reality, such as radar, ultrasonic, capacitive, optical, static pressure... Although they may sound high-tech, they all measure "indirect signals", such as the distance relative to the surface or the pressure at the bottom, and then calculate the liquid level.

this kind ofindirect measurementbroughtuncertaintyEspecially in cases where there are bubbles, material bridging and arching, uneven stacking caused by tilting, clumping, density changes, etc. in the container.

Frankfurt, GermanySolvay FluorochemistryThis indirect level gauge has been used before, but its accuracy decreases as temperature and density change. The final replacement with PanCake weighing sensor met the process requirements, and under the same conditions, the deviation after the transformation decreased from the original 2.5% to 1.1%.

　　Weighing based liquid level measurement

　　Objective, precise, non-contact

The logic of weighing based liquid level measurement is simple: want to know how much material is still in the container? Just weigh it and you'll know.

Because the measurement isqualityInstead of indirect signals, soNot affected by the state of the materialRegardless of whether the material is dilute or viscous, solid or liquid, toxic or corrosive, weighing sensors are treated equally.

Even better, the weighing sensorInstalled outside the containerNo need to drill holes, so there is no need to worry about hygiene hazards caused by drilling holes. Inteco's PanCake and Inteco sensors also support CIP/SIP(On site cleaning/on-site sterilization), in accordance withEHEDG(European Hygiene Engineering&Design Group)andFDA(Food and Drug Administration, US Food and Drug Administration)Certification eliminates worries about hygiene and safety.

　　Stable, reliable, and economically efficient

　　A system that exceeds value for money

Want to upgrade the existing level gauge but find it troublesome? PanCake sensors have already thought of everything for you: no need to shut down for major renovations, no need to change the container structure, and no need to worry about equipment incompatibility,Direct installation, direct use, direct accuracy.

Both internal analysis and market comparison results show that using weighing sensors can save up to50%In addition, there are almost no mechanical wear parts, minimal maintenance is required, and the accuracy can remain stable for many years... The money you spend is saving trouble for the future.

If your factory operates in high demand and high-risk environments such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries, can the weighing level gauge still be stable? Don't worry, we're hereNext article continues to answer.
