Roller mills primarily consist of two hard cast steel rollers counter-rotating against each other. The material passed between these rollers (especially wheat and similar grains) is crushed by being compressed and sheared. For the uninterrupted operation of the system during wheat milling processes, the amount of product in the material hopper must be monitored instantaneously.
VALSCELL is the most stable solution used for detecting the product level in the material hopper. Unlike other traditional level measurement methods, because it directly measures physical force (weight), it remains completely unaffected by disruptive external factors such as ambient dust, humidity, or static electricity. Thanks to its self-integrated transmitter structure, it eliminates the need for an extra signal converter card and can be connected directly to a PLC or control system.
Key Advantages & Operating Principles
Direct Weight-Based Measurement: Measures the physical force of the material directly, ensuring 100% accurate level detection regardless of dust clouds, high humidity, or static electricity build-up inside the hopper.
Built-In Transmitter (0-10V Output): Features an integrated signal conditioner that converts mechanical force straight into an industrial 0-10V analog signal, removing the cost and space required for external amplifier cards.
Direct Automation Integration: Can be wired directly into standard PLC, SCADA, or industrial control systems for real-time monitoring and automated feeding adjustments.
Continuous Process Optimization: Prevents empty runs or overfills by providing instantaneous data, keeping the milling line running at maximum efficiency.
Full Resistance to Environmental Conditions: Performs precise measurements without being affected by the material's relative humidity rate or static electricity charge.
Unaffected by Raw Material Changes: Continues accurate measurement without disrupting the calibration settings, even if the type or dielectric properties of the raw material in the hopper change.
Design Preventing Bacteria and Dirt Accumulation: It does not feature sensitive areas isolated with silicone or sharp corners where material can accumulate. Thanks to its streamlined design, it prevents raw material from adhering to its surface.
Integrated Signal Converter: Can be integrated directly into automation systems without requiring an external transmitter or converter card.
