Why choose· 01

Built for your duty.

Application-specific selection

tall silos, mineral powder bins, cement storage, fly ash silos, plastic pellets and grain storage with non-contact solids measurement needs

Technical configuration window

Range class, output, materials and accessories are presented as configurable options so WELK can match the page to the real process data before quotation.

Configuration before quotation

Silo height, diameter, filling point, cone angle, dust level, material dielectric, antenna aiming and available maintenance access decide the configuration.

Limits kept visible

Very uneven surfaces, bridging or inventory volume accuracy may need a 3D scanner or inventory system instead of a single point radar.

Product details· 02

How it is selected & specified.

Long Range Silo Radar Level Meter is presented as a WELK Level configurable product family, not as a single fixed catalogue code. The page focuses on realistic selection logic, installation limits and RFQ data that should be checked before quotation.

Tall silos, mineral powder bins, cement storage, fly ash silos, plastic pellets and grain storage with non-contact solids measurement needs.

Silo height, diameter, filling point, cone angle, dust level, material dielectric, antenna aiming and available maintenance access decide the configuration.

Very uneven surfaces, bridging or inventory volume accuracy may need a 3D scanner or inventory system instead of a single point radar.

FAQ· 06

Long Range Silo Radar Level Meter questions.

What makes silo radar different from tank radar?

Silo radar needs solids aiming, dust review, filling-stream avoidance and antenna protection from buildup.

Can radar measure cone-up and cone-down surfaces accurately?

It measures one target point. For inventory volume or uneven surface mapping, review a 3D silo scanner.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send medium, measuring range, installation drawing or photo, process connection, output signal, power supply, environment and any certificate or document requirement.

Are final specifications fixed from this page?

No. Final range, accuracy, material, pressure, temperature, output and approval wording are confirmed from the selected order configuration.
