Level Tracking in Silos

Silos are high-capacity storage structures that ensure the long-term safe storage of bulk products, especially in the agricultural and industrial sectors. Many products, from agricultural products such as corn, wheat, barley, and feed to construction materials such as cement and sand, are protected from external factors thanks to silos and can be used ready whenever needed.

Although the use of silos offers great advantages for systematic and controlled stock management, the real importance lies in accurately tracking the amount of material inside.

What is a Silo, For What Purpose is it Used?

Although the use of silos offers great advantages for systematic and controlled stock management, the real importance lies in knowing the amount of material inside at the right time and in the right way.

What are Silo Level Tracking Methods?

Today, many methods, both traditional and modern, are used to measure silo levels.

  • Manual Level Measurement: The height of the material inside is manually checked from the top of the silo using measuring rods or level ropes. Although it seems simple, it leads to loss of time and the risk of human error is high. Additionally, it is a risky method in terms of occupational safety.
  • Mechanical Level Switches: When the material reaches the determined level inside the silo, the switch is activated and sends a signal. These systems can only report whether the material has reached a certain point; they do not provide information about instantaneous occupancy percentage or stock movements.

  • Ultrasonic and Radar Level Sensors: These technologies measure the distance inside the silo via sound waves or radar signals and offer results with very high accuracy. However, they generally require a constant energy supply and installation costs are higher.

  • Wireless and Energy-Independent Level Sensors: These sensors are easy to install and can operate for a long time thanks to their internal batteries, without needing an external energy connection. Additionally, they offer 24/7 tracking opportunities by providing remote access via cloud-based applications.
