LTM-2 Slurry Level Measurement Probe: Alternative Devices Performance Comparisons
There are a myriad number of slurry level measuring devices available for measuring pulp levels in flotation cells, sumps and tanks that use a wide range of technical principles. Zeroday’s LTM-2 conductive probes have number of distinct advantages over alternative devices:
- Effectively measures the interface between pulp and froth/foam
- No mechanical moving parts
- 0.1% measurement accuracy and reproducibility
- Near instantaneous readings
- 1% linearity over length of probe
- Not affected by slurry % solids changes
- Varying % air in slurry does not affect (e.g. float cells), rarely affected at extremely high air level
- Accurate readings even with normal solids build up on probe
- Typical one-time calibration, easy setup and installation
- Minimal operator attention required
- Great option for challenging locations where access is limited, such as enclosed float cells
- Materials of construction and design provide long life
- Generally the least expensive option when including all direct and associated costs
