Bulk solids level sensor MicroCell

for storage tanks

Reproducible mass measurement on beam supported silos. The MicroCell and is ideally suited for retrofitting on existing silos; for reproducible mass measurement, whenever the conventional level measurement does not provide the desired result. The measuring cell is used to capture the masses of bulk materials and liquids in beam and skirt supported silos. Implementation occurs if core flow arises in the silo, i.e. the bulk materials are in motion at the outlet only. Bridge or gap formation is the result. The MicroCell is cost-optimised solutions, as they are installed directly on the existing support structure of the silo using mounting srews. For this the system does not have to be emtied or converted. Operation A compression, expansion or shearing occurs within the silo substructure when the silo is filled or emptied. This change dimensional is detected by the MicroCell and the mass is analysed by the transmitter. The sensors consist of two semiconductor strain gauges which are ceramically bound with a bending bar. As both semiconductor strain gauges are interconnected with a half-bridge, the semiconductors compensate for normal temperature drift.
