Reliable and safe level measurement to improve glass production

Published 12th May, 2020 by Greg Morris

Glass melt furnaces offer one of the most challenging environments for any type of industrial process measurement and control.

Extreme process conditions, such as high temperatures and dense refractory material, require an extremely robust yet reliable and accurate level measurement.

Especially an efficient and high quality glass production is in need of a reliable and safe glass level measurement just after the glass leaves the main feeder channel.

Radiometric based level measurement systems with the use of Co-60 isotope, proper alignment, and an effective calibration procedure offer best in class measurement results for the glass industry to maximise safety, reliability, and throughput.
