Level Measurement of Talc Powder Silos in Talc Production
Accurate measure talc powder levels in real-time despite harsh, dusty conditions to improve inventory management.
Continuous Inventory Monitoring with Non-Contacting Radar Technology
The final fine talc powder is stored in silos until it is packed or shipped in bulk. Talc powder generates a great deal of dust during the filling and emptying processes, leading to harsh, dusty conditions in the silo. Operators need to accurately measure the quantity of stored talc powder to meet delivery schedules, to satisfy the plant’s inventory reporting requirements, and to improve inventory management and control capabilities. Installing reliable switch technology helps control emptying and filling cycles.
