Heavy hammer level gaugeIt is a mechanical contact measuring instrument used to monitor the level of powder, particles, and liquids in containers such as hoppers and silos. It measures the height of materials by hanging a heavy hammer and touching the surface of the material. During measurement, the controller sends a signal to drive the motor to rotate forward, and the heavy hammer descends uniformly under the guidance of the steel wire rope or cable. When the heavy hammer touches the surface of the material, the relaxation of the steel wire rope triggers a sensitive lever action, which in turn activates the micro switch. After the signal is transmitted to the controller, the motor reverses and lifts the heavy hammer back to its starting position. The controller calculates the distance from the top of the silo to the surface of the material by processing the counting signals during the descent and return of the heavy hammer, and combines it with the known silo height to obtain the actual material level height, which is directly displayed on the display panel.
Heavy hammer level gaugeMain application industries:
1. Power industry
Thermal power plants: used to measure the material levels of raw coal bunkers, coal powder bunkers, and limestone powder bunkers, accurately control fuel supply, and avoid boiler coal breakage or overflow accidents.
Biomass power plant: Monitor the storage capacity of biomass fuels (such as straw and sawdust) and optimize combustion efficiency.
Garbage incineration plant: Measure the material level of the garbage bin to prevent excessive accumulation of garbage from affecting equipment operation or causing safety hazards.
2. Cement industry
Raw material warehouse: Measure the material level of limestone, clay, iron powder and other raw materials to ensure accurate proportioning and stable production quality.
Clinker storage: Monitor the storage capacity of clinker to avoid production stoppage or impact on subsequent processes caused by full or empty storage.
Cement powder warehouse: precise control of cement packaging and shipping volume to reduce waste.
3. Metallurgical industry
Blast furnace ore tank: measures the level of raw materials such as iron ore and coke, optimizes the feeding rhythm of the blast furnace, and improves smelting efficiency.
Sintering ore bin: Monitor the storage capacity of sintered ore to ensure continuous operation of the sintering machine.
Electric furnace silo: During the electric arc furnace steelmaking process, real-time measurement of the material level of scrap steel, alloys, and other materials is carried out to ensure accurate feeding.
4. Chemical industry
Plastic raw material warehouse: measure the material level of granular materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene to prevent material shortage or overflow.
Fertilizer production: Monitor the storage capacity of finished fertilizers such as urea and phosphate fertilizers, and optimize inventory management.
Catalyst compartment: In the chemical reaction process, precise control of the amount of catalyst added can improve reaction efficiency.
5. Grain and Feed Industry
Grain silo: measures the material level of wheat, corn, soybeans and other grains to prevent them from becoming moldy or spoiled.
Feed material warehouse: monitor the storage of fish meal, soybean meal, corn meal and other raw materials to ensure the accuracy of feed formula.
Port grain depot: In grain import and export trade, quickly measure the inventory of large grain depots to improve loading and unloading efficiency.
6. Environmental Protection and Solid Waste Treatment
Sludge treatment plant: Measure the material level of the sludge bin, optimize the sludge dewatering, drying and other treatment processes.
Hazardous waste disposal: Monitor the storage capacity of hazardous waste to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Mine tailings pond: Measure the height of tailings accumulation to prevent tailings dam collapse accidents.
