Level Measurement In Bitumen Truck – Hawk Guided Radar
Bitumen properties require that it remains at high temperature 180°C whilst being transported to prevent the product hardening. This heat is provided by a heating element located in the bottom of the vehicles tank. Additionally, the product itself is extremely sticky and forms a thick coating on any structure within the vessel instantly making…

Replacing pressure sensors in bitumen tanks with Hawk Centurion Guided Wave Radar.
Application problem: A manufacturer of Bitumen and Asphalt have successfully installed HAWK Guided Wave Radars in Bitumen tanks. The application is a 40 ton horizontal Bullet shaped Bitumen Tank (3m (9.8ft) diameter x 7.7m (23ft) long). Historically the site had been monitoring the level using pressure transmitters but had needed to replace them multiple times…
Gypsum Powder Silo Level Measurement – Hawk Centurion Guide Wave Radar
Application problem: Gypsum silos undergo a pyrolysis reaction in an environment which experiences unusually fast corrosion due to both temperature and the presence of an electrolyte solution (CaCl). Due to both the temperature and the presence of a large agitator the process was deemed unsuitable for ultrasonic measurement and large amounts of suspended dust particles…
Boom and Blocked Chute Protection – Hawk Microwave Switch
Application problem: 1. The customer had previously used lanyard rope switches, to protect the boom on stacker/reclaimers, from coming in contact with stockpiles. Lanyard rope switches, require high maintenance support, to keep them operational. If the lanyard rope is not tensioned properly, the system will not work. Brackets supporting the lanyard rope were frequently bent…
Blocked Chute Protection for Wet Applications – Hawk Gladiator Acoustic Switch
Application problem: The mine had used mechanical tilt switches to detect blocked chute problems in conveyor transfer, chutes, screens etc. Wet fine ore had built-up on the tilt switch and made it inoperable. The switch was not fail-safe and so when a blocked chute did occur the tilt switch did not operate, causing lost time…
Blocked Chute Protection – Hawk Measurement Gladiator Microwave Switch
Application problem: The customer had problems getting early enough indication of blocked chute on a critical application on a feeder to vibrating screen with mixed particle sizes. Speed of response was critical and probes proved unsuitable, because “on” delays had to be used to overcome intermittent impact by the product on the probes. The customer…
