Emerson Process Management has introduced the Rosemount 5708 Series of 3D Solids Scanners for the continuous measurement of level, volume and mass of bulk solids and powders in large vessels, bins and silos. The 5708 Series uses acoustic measurement and 3D mapping technologies, and is claimed to provide more accurate and reliable results than previous technologies, even when measuring uneven or sloping surfaces under dusty conditions.

Rosemount 5708 Series 3D Solids Scanners are designed to provide more accurate measurements of stored contents for improved process and inventory control. Unlike laser-based technologies that can take several hours to take measurements and require the process to be shut down, Rosemount 3D Solids Scanners provide continuous volume measurements that are representative of the material’s surface. They can measure practically any kind of material including difficult-to-measure fly ash and materials with a low dielectric that would challenge other technologies. The self-cleaning design requires low maintenance even when used in the dustiest environments.

Rosemount 3D Solids Scanners are suitable for measuring solids in silos, large open bins, bulk solid storage rooms, stockpiles and warehouses. There are models to deliver either level data only or both level and volume data using intuitive monitoring software.

The Rosemount 5708 Series includes level scanners for silos up to 5 m diameter and 70 m height, and there is also a version for larger vessels and silos up to 12 m diameter and 70 m height. Emerson can also supply systems of multiple devices to cover large areas such as 30 x 70 m warehouses.
