Detecting fill levels in slurry tanks with ultrasound
Ultrasonic sensors
Our ultrasonic sensors enable precise and efficient fill level detection in tanks during slurry mixing in battery production. They continuously record the fill level and transmit the data to the control system in real time. This enables optimum control and prevents overflows or material bottlenecks. The robust sensor technology guarantees reliable operation even in demanding environments, significantly increasing production quality and efficiency.
Features
- Precise fill level detection in real time with high accuracy, regardless of material color or surface texture
- Non-contact measurement of solid, powdery and liquid media without direct contact, minimizing wear and maintenance costs
- Reliable performance even in dusty, damp or aggressive environments thanks to chemically resistant materials and robust design
- Real-time data transmission to the control system to prevent overflows and material bottlenecks
- Extended functionality through IO-Link enables flexible parameterization and condition monitoring for optimized process control
