In this section, we clarify the most frequently asked questions about their installation, accuracy, and operation.
The accuracy of the reading obtained is +/- 1mm. The accuracy in calculating the remaining volume will depend on the type of product stored and the way the silo is emptied. With granular materials the accuracy is more than 95%.
In large-diameter silos, we recommend installing a single sensor if the material conditions are favorable. Otherwise, installing more than one sensor allows us to calculate an average measurement.
The sensors can be set up at the desired reading frequency.
Silometric must be installed in a such a way that cones that can be formed when the silo is filled or when it is emptying are balanced. Directing the laser from the upper-side to the center of the cone, and focusing the midpoint of the mountain or hole, the volume will be compensated.
No. With the Master gateway you can put as many Silometrics as you want within a radius of approximately 500 m.
