Level Measurement of Dextrose Storage Vessels in Grain Production
Continuously measure levels of dextrose for accurate inventory control and optimized maintenance cycles.
Continuous Level Monitoring of Sticky Solid Media with Non-Contacting
Dextrose is one of the sugars produced from corn wet milling. Dextrose is a final product, and its inventory must be known for shipment scheduling. It tends to be a sticky substance, so it can build up on vessel walls and instrumentation. Being able to detect build-up enables appropriate maintenance to be scheduled. Non-contacting level measurement technology is well suited for measurement of sticky media prone to build-up
