Level Measurement for Iron Pellet Storage
Accurately measure the level of iron pellets stored in silos to reliably monitor final product inventory
Continuous Inventory Monitoring with Non-contacting Radar Technology
Iron pellets (the final product) are stored in silos before being transferred or shipped. They are usually stored in wide silos. A typical iron ore processing site will have multiple silos for the pellets. It is very difficult for operators to closely monitor overall inventory levels across all silos in the field, in order to ensure sufficient supplies for efficient delivery schedules of the final product.

The Rosemount™ 5408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter uses enhanced technology and Human Centered Design to deliver accurate, reliable measurements on both liquid and solid materials. Using two-wire FMCW and Smart Echo Supervision technologies, the Rosemount 5408 deploys a continuous echo to maximize radar signal strength and produce a more robust and reliable measurement. Delivering ease-of-use at every touch point, the Rosemount 5408 uses an intuitive software interface to guide the operator through installation, commissioning, proof-testing and maintenance. Powerful onboard diagnostics suite proactively monitors transmitter health and alerts if there is an issue. Safety certified to IEC 61508 for SIL 2 applications, the Rosemount 5408:SIS reduces cost of risk, increases efficiency and protects people and the environment.

Rosemount solids level switches provide flexible measurement of powders, grains, and pellets. Their compact size makes them suitable for installation in all sizes of vessels and silos. Four different technologies are available, so you can find the right solution for your process.
- Rosemount solid switches are maintenance free
- Rotatable and robust die-cast aluminium housing that allows orientation of electrical connection after mechanical installation
- Rosemount solid switches are insensitive to temperature or pressure changes
