Case Study: Levelflex M Outperforms Mechanical Level Measurement Systems (Plum Bobs) In 43 Foot High Silos
The guided radar Levelflex M FMP40 is used to measure the level in coffee storage silos. The customer has changed from mechanical systems (plum bobs) to guided radar technology to avoid maintenance problems with mechanical systems.
Company profile
Coffee manufacturer in Texas
Application
The customer had 14 silos with mechanical
plum bobs that they wanted to replace because
of continuous maintenance problems.
The Endress+Hauser local representative
gave the customer a presentation on guided radar technology (TDR - Time Domain Reflectometry)
and recommended the FMP40
Levelflex for their application. A test and
evaluation unit was installed in one of the
silos. After the test period, the customer
was satisfied with the performance of the
FMP40 and ordered more instruments for
the remaining silos.
