Level Sensors

Radar Replaces Displacer Level Sensors

How much is actually in there? Level sensors allow you to peek inside closed silos and containers– To learn more about the latest trends and developments, we paid a visit to Magnetrol, a Belgium-based supplier of level controls. For radar can detect airplanes and speeding drivers, but it can do a lot more than that.
