Level Measurement in Loading Bins for Rock Salt Shipping
Accurately measure levels of rock salt in fast-filling and -emptying loading bins for precise shipment monitoring.
Continuous Monitoring with Radar and Point Level Technology
Rock salt is loaded onto trucks or rail cars for shipment to consumers from various industries. This can be a fast-moving application as the loading bin is filled and emptied quickly, making reliable material monitoring challenging.

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.
- 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.
- Low 12V dc lift-off voltage
- Immune to intermittent power loss
