Monitoring Industries such as plastic moulding, food processing, and construction materials all rely on bulk materials. As these industries move even closer to just-in-time manufacturing, the ability to produce accurate, reliable, and repeatable level measurements is becoming increasingly important. This means that high inventories of raw materials should be avoided if possible. Dimetix Laser Distance Sensors help you to determine the exact level of your silos at any time, allowing you to optimise your raw material stock.
Dimetix sensors measure accurately at longer distances (≥65meters) on a wide variety of materials, without making contact with the materials being measured. Reliability and repeatability of laser measurements are also independent of colour and material. Surfaces consisting of white plastic pellets are measured as accurately as those composed of dry or wet gravel. Even in the case of semi-transparent plastic resin pellets, enough light is reflected back to the sensor to obtain accurate and reliable measurements.
