Instrumentation for measuring the level of chips in bins

Abstract

Most of the products produced on the basis of wood are the result of its mechanochemical processing, the raw material for which is technological chips. This chip is obtained in wood preparation workshops, and at the front of its further processing it is stored in open piles or in bunkers of various capacities. Measuring the volume of chips in piles is not very difficult. Operational accounting of chips in bunkers closed from a free view needs instrumentation. The article discusses the basic options of devices that allow solving this problem.
