Level Measurement of Nib Storage Vessels in Cocoa Processing
Accurately measure rapidly-changing cocoa nib levels to continuously monitor inventory and facilitate timely resupply
Avoid Costly Disruptions with Radar and Point Level Technologies
Cocoa nibs are stored in silos until they are needed for processing. Nibs feed the entire cocoa production process, so operators need to accurately and continuously monitor inventory levels. Reliably understanding on-hand supply ensures a continuous feed for production, and helps avoid unexpected process interruptions and their associated losses in time and money. Cocoa nibs can be dusty which can lead to coating of silo walls and build-up. In smaller silos, the level may change quickly as the silos are emptied and refilled, making a responsive level measurement critical to ensure adequate supplies for production.
