5. Operating Principle
Membrane level monitors allow economic level monitoring of bulk goods in
storage vessels. They may be used to indicate full and empty states and load
demand for dusty, powdery, granulated and grainy bulk goods. They are suitable
for use with bulk materials (0.3 to 2.5 t/m3) and particle sizes up to 30 mm. The
devices will operate faultlessly provided the bulk goods flow easily at not too
small an angle. Only such materials exert sufficient operating pressure on the
detector fitted in the wall of the silo.
The housing made of cast aluminium or glass-fibre reinforced plastic carries the
membrane retained by a screwed-on ring. With its own weight the bulk material
presses against the membrane which is prestressed with a spring through to the
support. A plunger fixed to the membrane transfers the pressure directly to a
microswitch with changeover contact. If the bulk material subsides, the
membrane is relieved and the contact is switched back. The sensitivity can be
adjusted with a spring. The monitor can thus be optimised for the type of fill and
the installation conditions.
6. Mechanical Connection
6.1 Installation with very coarse-grained and sharp-edged bulk
goods
The installation of guards is recommended for very large grained and sharp-
edged materials with high specific weight.
A proposal for such a guard is
shown in the sketch. The guard
mounted over the level monitor
protects sensor and membrane
against damage from dropping bulk
material. The curtain (made of
rubber or plastic, for instance) protects
the membrane from excessive
wear by hanging against the membrane
as the amount of bulk material
increases. Make sure that
the monitor is not in the path of
the inflowing material, as otherwise
monitor and membrane would be
destroyed very quickly.
