In the food industry, a starch silo is a common storage device used to store and handle starch-like materials. In order to ensure the stability and safety of the production process, it is essential to have accurate measurements of the starch silo. As a high-precision measuring device, radar level gauge has been widely used in the measurement of starch silo.
First of all, let's get to know the starch silo. A starch silo is a cylindrical storage tank that is usually made of stainless steel or concrete. Its main function is to store starch materials, such as corn starch, potato starch, etc. During the production process, the starch-like material enters the silo through the inlet and undergoes a series of processing and handling, and finally is conveyed to downstream equipment or packaging lines through the outlet. In order to accurately measure the height and volume of the material in the starch silo, we need to use high-precision measuring equipment. Radar level gauges are a very suitable measuring device. Based on the principle of radar waves, the radar level gauge measures the height and volume of the material by emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves to the surface of the material and receiving the reflected signal. Its advantages lie in non-contact measurement, high precision, high reliability and the ability to adapt to a wide range of harsh operating conditions.
Next, let's take a look at two real-world cases to see how radar level gauges are used in starch silo measurement. Case 1: In the production process of corn starch, the starch silo is used to store corn raw materials and processed corn starch. By using radar level gauges, we can monitor the level height of corn starch in the silo in real time, and adjust the rate of feeding and discharging according to the change of liquid level to ensure the stability and continuity of production. At the same time, the radar level gauge can also provide an alarm function, when the liquid level height exceeds or falls below the preset value, it will send out an alarm in time to prevent the occurrence of overflow or empty silo accidents. Case 2: In the production of potato starch, radar level gauges also play an important role. The production process of potato starch is complex, including multiple processes such as washing, crushing, separating, and refining potatoes. During the production process, starch silos are used to store potato slurry and refined potato starch. Through the real-time monitoring of the radar level gauge, we can understand the level height and volume of potato starch in the silo, so as to control the flow of materials and the operation status of processing equipment to ensure the smooth progress of production.
Radar level gauge plays an important role in the measurement of starch silos, which can provide high-precision measurement results, real-time monitoring of changes in liquid level height and volume, and provide a strong guarantee for the stability and safety of the production process.
