| Corn Surge Hopper at Ethanol Facility |
Monitoring the continuously changing level of corn in the surge hopper of an Ethanol production facility can be challenging. The material level can be continuously changing and the environment very dusty.
Monitor Technologies LLC is pleased to announce that its Flexar(TM) guided wave radar continuous level measurement sensors have been successfully used in corn surge hopper applications. At the GEAPS show this year, Booth number 101C, Monitor will feature its Flexar continuous level measurement system.
Unlike all other continuous level measurement technologies, guided wave radar is unaffected by dusty environments such as what occurs during the filling of corn surge bins. This means that reliable and accurate readings are available at your fingertips every second. The Flexar guided wave radar unit uses TDR (time domain reflectometry) technology to make accurate measurements.
With TDR, microwave pulses are guided to the material surface along a continuous stainless steel cable of 0.31" (8mm) diameter. The microwave pulses reflect off the material surface and the time of flight results in the distance measurement of empty space. The unit calculates the material level based on your silo height information and transmits this data either through smart RS485 communications for use with our SiloTrack inventory management system, or via a 4-20mA output signal to a remote receiving device such as a control system or digital display meter.
Monitor Technologies LLC is a leading supplier of level, flow, particle emission and aeration instrumentation for the worldwide grain processing, storage and handling industries. The experience and market knowledge gained over five decades has earned Monitor a reputation for providing high quality and reliable product solutions.
