1. Challenges in the Cement Industry
The cement manufacturing process involves harsh industrial conditions characterized by extreme dust, high temperatures, and continuous material movement.
These factors make accurate and reliable level measurement of solid materials a major challenge.
Measuring the level of cement, clinker, or raw materials inside silos and storage tanks requires sensors that can perform consistently under these demanding environments.
2. The Solution: NivoBob® NB3000/4000 Electromechanical Level Measurement
The NivoBob® NB3000/4000 is an electromechanical level measurement system specifically designed for the toughest bulk material applications.
Its robust construction and self-cleaning mechanism ensure precise and stable operation even in dusty cement environments.
3. Key Features and Technical Advantages
Integrated Self-Cleaning Mechanism
One of the key innovations of the NivoBob® NB3000/4000 is its integrated paddle-type cleaning system, which continuously removes dust and material buildup from the measuring tape.
As the tape winds and unwinds during operation, it cleans itself, preventing contamination from entering the mechanical and electronic components.
This design guarantees long-term stability, accuracy, and extended service life in high-dust environments like cement silos.
Dual-Chamber Housing Design
The sensor’s housing features a dual-chamber structure: one chamber for the mechanical drive unit and the other for electronic components.
This separation provides complete protection for electronics from dust and humidity, increasing the reliability and lifespan of the device, especially under heavy-duty industrial conditions.
Installation Flexibility
The NivoBob® NB3000/4000 offers various mounting options for flexible installation:
-
Flange or threaded connection for standard mounting positions
-
Adjustable flange angles suitable for conical silos
The device can measure levels up to 50 meters, making it ideal for tall silos used in cement production.
Exceptional Durability and Service Life
With an optional brushless motor, the sensor can achieve a lifetime of up to 500,000 measuring cycles or 60,000 operating hours.
This ensures maintenance-free, long-term operation in harsh conditions.
Counterweights and replaceable wear parts are available to adapt the sensor to different industrial applications, allowing for quick and easy maintenance.
Easy Configuration and Operation
The NivoBob® NB3000/4000 is equipped with user-friendly software, allowing operators to configure and calibrate measurement parameters with minimal effort.
Its intuitive interface simplifies setup, ensuring accurate measurement results without complex adjustments.
