Optimizing Sawdust Bunker Management with Ultrasonic Level Measurement

Efficient level monitoring in industrial sawdust bunkers is crucial for maintaining smooth operations and preventing overflows or shortages. ZTF Lāsma provides an innovative solution using NIVELCO EasyTREK and EchoTREK ultrasonic sensors, designed to accurately measure material levels in challenging conditions like dust and irregular surfaces.

Key Features:

• Ultrasonic Precision: Detects material levels with high accuracy.
• Durable Design: Handles harsh environments.
• Remote Monitoring: Integrates with control systems for real-time data.

Solution Overview:

At the heart of this system is the EasyTREK SCD-34J-8 sensor, offering a measurement range up to 15 meters, ideal for bulky materials like sawdust. Paired with the PEW-217-1 Multicont P-200 controller, it ensures seamless control and monitoring, enabling operators to track levels in real-time and adjust as needed.

Why it Matters:

Industries handling bulk solids like sawdust often face significant challenges with level measurement due to dust and debris interference. Traditional methods may not provide accurate results, leading to potential system inefficiencies. Ultrasonic sensors like those from NIVELCO overcome these issues by offering a non-contact, reliable solution that works even in difficult environments.

How the Solution Works:

The EasyTREK sensor uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance between the sensor and the sawdust surface, calculating the material level based on the time it takes for the pulses to return. This data is transmitted to the Multicont controller, which processes and displays the information, allowing operators to monitor levels from a central location. Alarms or automatic controls can be set to ensure the bunker does not overflow or run empty.

Benefits of Using This System:

1. Increased Efficiency: Accurate measurements help optimize resource management and minimize waste.
2. Enhanced Safety: Prevents material overflow, reducing fire hazards.
3. Cost-Effective: Low maintenance costs and long-term reliability make it a valuable investment.

This solution helps companies streamline their operations, improve safety, and reduce costs by offering reliable, accurate sawdust level measurements.
