The Application of Vibrating Rod Level Switches in Material Loading Monitoring
With the continuous progress of industrial technology, the automation management and application of smart IoT （Internet of Things）are also quietly changing. Most companies are continuously innovating and trying to achieve automated monitoring of material loading levels for automated production, aiming to save labor costs and improve work efficiency. The key is how to achieve sustainable, reliable, and accurate automated control of material transport. Jiwei’s Tube-11 Vibrating Rod Level Switch’s unique design principle makes it suitable for monitoring levels in various operating conditions, ensuring more stable and reliable long-term operation.
Jiwei’s understanding of various operating conditions and product application cases allows it to fully grasp the key issues in automated management of material transport and loading processes. When the Tube-11 Vibrating Rod Level Switch work on-site, it can accurately and reliably detect materials when they come into contact with the switch. When the material reaches the preset level, the switch will send a signal to control the loading equipment to stop transporting materials, and then the loading vehicle will leave the loading area. The Vibrating Rod Level Switch enables automated operation and management of this production process, reducing manual monitoring.
The installation and maintenance of the Vibrating Rod Level Switch are also relatively simple and straightforward. Specific specifications can be customized after communicating with customer service. During installation, fix the Vibrating Rod Level Switch at an appropriate position inside the silo, ensuring that the rods can make full contact with the material. Additionally, pay attention to ensuring the reliability of electrical connections and taking measures against water and dust.
A representative example of Jiwei’s application case is a Sinopec refinery and chemical project. In this project, the Vibrating Rod Level Switches were installed on the second floor, while the loading vehicle was on the first floor. Therefore, the Vibrating Rod Level Switch probe needed to be 2.5 meters long. To prevent the probe from being damaged by materials during pneumatic conveying, protective measures such as extended pipes and protective shields around the probe were installed.
The feedback from the customer service follow-up on the project was positive, indicating stable and reliable product operation. The application of the Vibrating Rod Level Switches enabled the automation of material transport and loading processes. Intelligent management improved the accuracy and efficiency of material loading, reducing the instances of overloading or underloading and thus increasing overall production efficiency. At the same time, the automation of production management for the enterprise leads to significant advantages in industry development.
The Vibrating Rod Level Switch is suitable for material transport control and monitoring in various fields and operating conditions, such as mining, metallurgy, cement building materials, pharmaceuticals, and food processing silos. Jiwei’s Tube-11 Vibrating Rod Level Switch rivals imported products, offering a competitive price-performance ratio and receiving high praise from numerous partners. Jiwei will strive to develop more reliable, precise, and stable products to serve our partners!
