Level Measurement of Cocoa Bean Shells in Cocoa Processing
Accurately measure separated shell levels and material build-up to optimize cleaning cycles and inventory control.
Accurate Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technologies
Separated cocoa bean shells are stored in silos before being shipped out for use as agricultural mulch or in fertilizer production. Humidity and temperature in the storage silos create media build-up and irregular formations which can cause damage to the silo and impact product quality. As the internal temperature during build-up rises over time, the shells can burn and stick to each other, forming hard bulks that cannot be used. The ability to view the build-up as it occurs and knowing how much material is available are both crucial to process operators.
