Electromechanical Level Measurement

TSB supplies Electromechanical Level Measurement solutions in Jordan for continuous level measurement in silos, bins and bulk-solid storage applications. The technology is particularly suitable for dusty, fine-grained and coarse-grained materials where reliable measurement is required under challenging storage conditions.

The measuring principle uses a sensing weight suspended on a measuring tape. The weight is lowered toward the material surface until the reduction in tensile force is detected. The system then reverses the motor, rewinds the measuring tape and calculates the product level from the measured distance.

Why Choose Electromechanical Level Measurement?

Electromechanical Level Measurement provides a proven solution for continuous level measurement in bulk-solid applications, particularly where heavy dust or varying material properties can make other measurement methods difficult.

The sensing weight physically detects the product surface, meaning measurement is not dependent on dielectric constant or many other electrical properties of the material.

Long measuring distances also make the technology particularly useful for large and tall silos. Integrated fail-safe control prevents the sensing weight from being lowered into the silo outlet, helping protect both the instrument and conveying equipment.

For plant operators, this provides proven measurement technology, reliable operation in dusty environments and dependable continuous level monitoring for bulk-solid storage.
