Reliable Level Measurement in Palm Kernel Inventory
Detect the real level signal even under challenging solids applications
Detection of the real level signal under challenging solids applications such as the palm kernel inventory. The reliable level measurement in palm kernel inventory results in better utilization of the production capacity.
Micropilot FMR67 continuous wave (FMCW) radar for continuous level monitoring
Results:
-
Secure operation under extreme conditions
-
Reliable operation
Challenges:
Inventory management has often been difficult in the past due to expensive and unreliable methods using sonar instrumentation.
The angle of repose lead to signal loss.
Coatings or contamination due to extreme cloud of dust form during filling cycle.
Solids tends to be very low dielectric constant and its bulk density is low.
Solution:
One of the most advanced radar instruments uses 80 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar for continuous level monitoring.
This instrument has a short-wave length of only 4 mm, along with a narrow beam path of just 3 degrees. The combination of a short-wave length that performs well in small particle solids like palm kernel, and a narrow beam that does not see or reflect off objects, makes FMCW radar ideal for solids applications.
