In order to ensure the long-term efficiency, safe and stable operation of automated production of flour processing plants, improve production efficiency, save labor costs, and maximize the economic benefits of flour processing plants.
Combined with the actual production process of the flour mill, the selection of the material level switch should meet the following requirements:

(1)Food grade
Since flour is closely related to people's health, in order to avoid secondary pollution of materials such as raw material warehouses, wet wheat warehouses and finished product warehouses due to product sealing, the material level switch must be selected to meet the food level, that is, the product cannot be equipped with lubricated moving parts, and the probe material should be at least 304 stainless steel, and the surface finish should be less than 0.8μM.
(2) High reliability
Flour processing technology includes the receipt, storage and cleaning of raw grains, wheat milling, flour post-processing, packaging, storage and distribution of finished products and by-products. Working conditions are more complex. Therefore, the choice of material level switch must meet high reliability requirements such as no false alarms, anti-interference, anti-hanging, strong performance, and long service life.
(3) Dust-proof and explosion-proof
During the flour production process, a large amount of dust is generated. When dust is suspended in the air and reaches explosive concentration, once fire, sparks, arc or appropriate temperature occurs, the dust will burn immediately, forming a violent explosion. Therefore, the material level switch selected must meet the requirements of dust-proof and explosion-proof to ensure factory safety.
(4) easy to install
In order to reduce the time for later installation and commissioning and maintenance costs, and improve construction efficiency, easy-to-install, maintenance-free measurement solutions should be considered when selecting.
(5) High cost performance
When the above requirements are met, price will become an important reference factor in product selection. Due to the high price, radar level gauges have very low cost performance.
