Case study

Continuous volume measurement in free fall for the filling of salts
Food Industry | SolidFlow 2.0
Customer: 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
