Styrofoam silo
LevelPoint Level

Overview
In the manufacture of stucco with special insulating properties, Styrofoam is also added to the traditional sand, lime and cement mixture. With a bulk density of only a few grams per litre, Styrofoam balls are extremely light and therefore very difficult to measure. For cost-effective storage, reliable level measurement and point level detection are required.
