Grain storage in the malting plant

Until it is processed into malt, fresh barley is stored in storage tanks with a height of up to 20 meters (65.6 ft). Freshly kilned malt is suitable for brewing after being stored in silos for several weeks. Filling the silo generates a huge amount of dust. The product surface is continuously changing because of vessel filling and emptying. 

 

Level measurement with 3DLevelScanner

The APM 3DLevelScanner™ measuring technology is independent of product characteristics, such as humidity, dust or noise generation or the shape of the product surface. 3-D mapping eliminates guesswork and avoids inaccurate calculations due to the cone problem. It also delivers true and absolute surface level values with unprecedented accuracy. Needless to say, the sensor meets the ATEX and FM requirements.
