Korean and Japanese Customers Visit Shenzhen Jiwei for Level Measurement Solutions
Korean and Japanese Customers Visit Shenzhen Jiwei to Explore Level Measurement Solutions for Challenging Applications
Recently, customer representatives from South Korea and Japan visited Shenzhen Jiwei Automations Ltd. for in-depth discussions on level measurement applications in the steel, mining, cement, building materials, and related process industries. The visits not only reflected overseas customers’ continued interest in Shenzhen Jiwei’s brand, products, and technical service capabilities, but also further promoted deeper cooperation in industrial automation instrumentation, level monitoring for challenging applications, and industry-specific solutions.
As global manufacturing, resource-based industries, and basic materials sectors continue to move toward intelligent, automated, and safer production, industrial sites are placing higher requirements on the stability, accuracy, and reliability of level measurement. Whether in raw material silos at steel plants, ore storage and conveying systems, cement powder silos, clinker silos, or bulk storage facilities, level data is directly related to production continuity, equipment protection, inventory management, and safe operation.
During the exchange, customers from South Korea and Japan paid close attention to Jiwei’s application experience in radar level measurement, tuning fork point level detection, RF admittance level control, and rotary paddle level detection. Both sides conducted systematic technical discussions around typical difficult working conditions, including heavy dust, high temperature, strong impact, strong vibration, long measuring ranges, irregular material surfaces, and complex internal silo structures.
Focusing on the Steel Industry to Improve Level Monitoring Stability in Raw Material and Auxiliary Material Silos
The steel industry is a typical high-intensity continuous production sector. Level measurement is used throughout multiple stages, including raw material receiving, sintering, ironmaking, steelmaking, dust collection, batching, and finished product storage and transportation. Materials such as iron ore, coke, limestone, pulverized coal, alloy materials, dust collector ash, and slag vary greatly in physical properties, placing high demands on the adaptability of level instruments.
At steel plant sites, ore silos, coke silos, lime silos, coal powder silos, and dust ash silos often face high dust concentration, strong material impact, sloped material surfaces, wall buildup, and uneven material accumulation. Traditional contact-type measurement methods are easily affected by wear, buildup, and mechanical impact, resulting in higher long-term maintenance costs.
In response to these application challenges, the Jiwei team introduced the advantages of radar level instruments in steel industry applications. Radar level instruments are installed on the top of the silo and do not directly contact the material, helping reduce wear and maintenance. Meanwhile, by properly selecting the installation position, optimizing measuring range parameters, and applying false echo suppression, interference from silo walls, internal structures, dust, and feeding streams can be effectively reduced, providing continuous and stable level data for steel enterprises.
Customers noted that steel industry sites are complex and require instruments with strong long-term operational stability. In the future, both sides will further explore product testing and project cooperation opportunities in specific scenarios such as raw material silos, coke silos, sintering batching silos, dust ash silos, and blast furnace pulverized coal injection systems.
Supporting the Mining Industry to Ensure Continuous Operation of Crushing, Screening, and Storage Systems
The mining industry was also a key focus of the customer exchange. Mining production involves crushing, screening, conveying, storage, and loading processes. Level data from ore silos, crushing station buffer bins, transfer station silos, and loading bins is essential for production scheduling and equipment protection.
Ore materials are usually characterized by large particles, strong impact, heavy dust, irregular material surfaces, and tall silo structures. If level measurement data is unstable, it may lead to uneven belt conveying, crusher idling, silo blockage, overflow, or inaccurate loading measurement, affecting the operating efficiency of the entire production line.
For mining industry applications, the Jiwei team highlighted non-contact radar level measurement solutions. Radar level instruments can be installed on the top of the silo to continuously monitor the material level inside ore silos. Since the instrument does not directly contact the material, it is not directly affected by material wear and is suitable for measuring bulk solids such as ore, crushed stone, mineral powder, and aggregates. For sites with heavy dust and fluctuating material surfaces, echo recognition capability and measurement stability can be improved by optimizing beam direction, installation angle, and signal processing parameters.
Customers expressed recognition of Jiwei’s application approach in ore storage and transportation systems and hoped to further conduct selection evaluation, installation plan confirmation, and field testing based on specific project conditions.
Expanding into the Cement and Building Materials Industry to Solve Measurement Challenges in Powder Silos and Clinker Silos
In addition to the steel and mining industries, both sides also had in-depth discussions on level measurement requirements in the cement and building materials industry. Cement production involves a wide range of materials, including limestone, clinker, cement powder, fly ash, slag powder, coal powder, and additives. These sites commonly face heavy dust, high temperature, strong adhesion, uneven material buildup, and complex silo structures.
In cement plants, raw meal homogenization silos, clinker silos, cement silos, fly ash silos, mineral powder silos, and coal powder silos all require reliable continuous level measurement or point level alarms. Once level data becomes inaccurate, it may affect batching stability, grinding efficiency, loading and delivery, and inventory management. In severe cases, it may even cause blockage, silo overflow, or equipment shutdown.
The Jiwei team explained that for the cement and building materials industry, different solutions can be provided according to material characteristics and silo structures, including radar level instruments, RF admittance level controllers, tuning fork level switches, and rotary paddle level switches. For large powder silos and clinker silos, radar level instruments can be used for continuous level monitoring. For high and low level alarms, point level switches can be combined to support overflow prevention, empty silo protection, and equipment interlock control.
Customers in the cement industry usually focus on instrument stability in high-dust and high-adhesion environments. Through proper model selection, optimized installation positioning, and on-site commissioning, Jiwei can help users improve the reliability of powder silo level measurement, reduce manual inspection frequency, and provide data support for automation and digital management in cement production.
Technical Exchanges Focus on Field Applications and Promote Solution Implementation
During the visit, customers from South Korea and Japan were not only concerned with the technical parameters of individual instruments, but also placed greater emphasis on the implementation capability of complete solutions. Both sides carried out detailed exchanges on early-stage working condition assessment, product selection, installation guidance, on-site commissioning, signal integration, alarm interlocking, and after-sales maintenance.
For overseas projects, stable and reliable product quality, clear and complete technical documentation, fast service response, and replicable industry application experience are all important factors when customers choose long-term partners. Based on application scenarios in steel, mining, cement, and building materials industries, the Jiwei team demonstrated the company’s technical accumulation and service capabilities in level measurement for challenging industrial applications.
Customers expressed their hope to further strengthen technical communication and project collaboration with Shenzhen Jiwei. They look forward to exploring more cooperation opportunities in steel raw material systems, ore storage systems, cement powder silos, bulk material conveying systems, and related automation upgrade projects. Both sides also held preliminary discussions on sample testing, industry case sharing, localized technical support, and future project advancement.
