Flour Mill Level Control Problem Solved at Cargill Flour Mill in Port of Albany, NY In the spring of 2000, a large Cargill Flour Mill in Port of Albany NY was attempting to address a difficult level control problem.� Through the "College of Hard Knocks" the plant personnel had just determined that their significant investment in "Brand X" ultrasonic level transmitters was a huge problem.
Fortunately
for Cargill, Princo became aware of their problem and got involved.� It was�� determined that the "real" issue
was to detect when the silo was "full" to prevent overfilling.�
They needed a "reliable" point level controller.�
The Princo series L3500 was the ideal choice, as it has both the sensitivity and the stability plus FM approval for installation in Class 1, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups C, D, E, F, & G hazardous locations.�� Due
to the light powdery consistency of flour, it has a very low effective
dielectric constant.� Therefore, to
obtain a reliable, repeatable trip point, Princo designed a special flange
mounted probe.
Due to their experience with the "Brand X" supplier, Cargill was very demanding of Princo and insisted on: on-site factory start-up assistance, a 100% Application Guarantee, on-demand rapid response factory tech support, and of course, competitive prices and deliveries. As a result, Cargill Flour Mill in Port of Albany NY purchased and installed more than 100 of these units.� They were installed during the summer of 2000, and have been providing satisfactory service ever since. |
