Level Detection of Granular Materials - A Promising Use Case
Granular storage silos occupy a significant place across multiple industrial ecosystems such as food & beverages, agriculture, chemicals & petrochemicals, and others. The height of granular storage silos, when combined with the dusty environment inside the silos, makes it impossible for mechanical level detection devices to function effectively. This is where the level sensor technology comes into play, bringing an array of new opportunities for the market players to gain maximum ROI.
In response to the growing demand for level detection of granular materials, key vendors operating in the level sensor market are shifting their strategic focus toward launch of new products into their existing portfolios. For instance, Aplus Finetek Sensor, Inc. officially announced the launch of its exclusive ‘SC35 series vibrating fork point level sensor’ for faultless detection of presence and absence of bulk solid materials over a wide range of material densities. Furthermore, manufacturers are also endeavoring the launch of new features into these new rolled-out sensors, some of them being robust shock resistance, adjustable sensitivity, fail-safe functionality, and long service life, which would further make their products ‘well-positioned’ in the end markets.
Europe - The Hotbed of Opportunities for Level Sensor
Key players in the level sensors market are tracking down new opportunities in the Western European countries, particularly in Germany, UK, and France. One of the key factors that pins the lucrativeness of this regional market is large-scale presence of manufacturing companies, some of them being ABB, Siemens AG, and others. In addition, high-scale proliferation of new technologies for industrial operations in the Western European economies is unfolding into multiple fronts, thereby adding new certainties to the near-term outlook of this regional market.
