Continuous volume measurement in free fall for the filling of salts

Food Industry | SolidFlow 2.0

Client: Manufacturer of salts

Product: Salt

Conveyed volumes: 3 t/h

Conveyor mechanism: Rotary conveyor

Installation location: Free fall behind rotary conveyor

What measuring process was used previously: none, the volume was determined using the rotational speed of the rotary conveyor

According to the client, the system offers the following advantages over the formerly used methods:

  • Continuous flow metering
  • Volume can not be determined using the rotational speed of the rotary conveyor (far too imprecise)

Client benefits:

  • Monitoring of the desired material volume, not too much and not too little material during filling
  • Quality control in the manufacturing process
