Level Measurement in Storage and Buffer Tanks
Maintain precise knowledge and control of the level of inventory in your storage tanks.
Reliable continuous level measurement in storage tanks
Once raw milk is received at a dairy plant, the milk then flows into storage and buffer tanks. Here the milk is kept at a cold temperature until it can be further processed. Level measurement is necessary to monitor the level of inventory and to prevent overfills in the tanks.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 1408H Level Transmitter features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology and provides accurate continuous level measurement. The radar is specifically designed to match hygienic requirements in the food & beverage industry. It is equipped with hygienic certifications (3-A®, FDA, EC 1935/2004, EHEDG, etc.), a compact and polished stainless steel housing, and the ability to withstand CIP and SIP cleaning processes which allows you to minimize contamination risk and assure product safety.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Compact form factor enables installation in applications with space constraints, such as small tanks and vessels
- G1" process connection is compatible with full suite of hygienic process connection adapters
Communication Protocol
4-20 mA (2-wire) HART® or 4-20 mA (3-wire), switch (PnP/NpN), and IO-link (enabling e.g. Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP/IP, OPC UA)
Interoperability
See Product Data Sheet for complete list of cables, IO-Link accessories, etc.
Process Connection
Tri Clamp, DIN 11851, Varivent®, etc. See Product Data Sheet for complete list of options.
The Rosemount 2120 Level Switch provides easy to install, reliable level detection and control. 3
rdparty IEC61508 (SIL2) safety and hygienic certification with choice of outputs makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has no moving parts, needs no calibration and is virtually unaffected by process conditions. Adjustable switching delay prevents false switching in turbulent applications. Understand what is going on with your process- the visible heartbeat LED provides device status and health, and magnetic test point provides an easy-to-use functional test.
- Magnetic test point makes testing of the Rosemount 2120 easy
- Can be operated using the sun or battery as a power source with the 12Vdc option
- Fast drip fork design gives a quicker response time, especially with viscous liquids
