A food packaging company, required new dispensing systems for their solvent based inks. The project specification called for non-contact level gauge measurement, redundant high level gauge spill prevention, and intrinsic safety approvals due to the flammable solvent.
For these reasons, we suggested our reflective ultrasonic sensors in the ink mix tanks, radar sensors in the solvent storage tanks due to vapor, and Switch-Pak ultrasonic switches in each tank for alarming.
The corrosion resistant sensors provide reliable level data to the PLC, which controls the batching, dispensing and inventory replenishment. Level gauge is reliable level measurement.
