ATMI offers sensors to measure the level of solids in silos that are suitable for solids in the form of powder. These SOLIBA SPECIAL tilt level switches are used to stop the filling of the silo. The SOLIBA SPECIAL EX sensor is ATEX certified. It can be used in explosive areas.

These tilt level switches work as follows: they must be positioned on the opposite side of the filling of the tank at the highest level you desire. When the solid level rises and reaches the SOLIBA SPECIAL, it tilts due to the formation of the slope and so it stops the filling of the tanks or storage silos.

This mechanical inclinometer can be used in addition to other safety equipment: rotary pallets, radars, and ultrasound. The special SOLIBA can be used even with very light powders.

Indeed, there is no risk of burial even in the case of low-density products such as soy, oats, sturgeon or sunflower.
It is very resistant to dust and it is activated only when the high level has been reached which allows an energy gain.

Moreover, this device is eco-friendly, easy to use and install. It is perfectly adapted for several applications such as grains and cereals, animal feed, powders as well as stones, pellets and chips. To use in hazardous environments it is recommended to use SOLIBA SPECIAL EX P.
