The measuring range is up to 160 ft. (50 m). Applications include powders and granules, silicon, plastic pellets, cement, fly ash, corn and many more. “The Rosemount 5303 tracks very reliably. The operators can depend on it to maximize our production at the front end of the ethanol process” Plant Maintenance Manager RESULTS • Increased operating span of the surge bin measurement allowed greater throughput • Reduced clogging and production stoppage • Increased detection of dry solids resulted in a reliable level measurement
