Safety and process control are among the primary concerns The ABB solution
when working in a mining environment. The variety of Inventory levels in ore passes, which can reach up to 200
different level applications in mining requires unique, proven ft./60 m in depth with only 16 ft./5 m diameter, represent
technologies. ABB offers a comprehensive selection of level one of the most difficult and extreme level applications in
measurement technologies and products used in the mining an underground mine. The harsh environment and physical
industry for both liquids and solids. constraints of the ore passes prevent the use of most level
technologies. The ABB family of laser level transmitters,
LM200 and LM80, provide the solution. The LM200‘s
focused, near infared laser beam can effectively reach the
bottom of the narrow ore pass, providing continuous level
measurement to ensure production efficiency and safety. The
LM80 provides unique and reliable level measurement solution
for a variety of mining level measurement applications such as
crusher level control, inventory measurement in silos, bins and
detection of plugged chutes.
Level switches, both mechanical and electronic, are an As a comprehensive provider of level measurement products,
important part of a well designed process level control ABB offers a variety of indicators and controllers that
system. Their ability to accurately and repeatedly detect level complement field instrumentation to provide customers with
is crucial and is often the last warning before a major upset total level solutions. When a complete level measurement
or catastrophic failure. The ability to offer the best switch system is designed with the right combination of field
technology for a given application sets ABB apart from other indicators and controllers, the highest degree of level
manufacturers. detection and control can be achieved.
ABB level switches are categorized into two groups: ABB field indicators and controllers for level
magnetic/float based and electronic. Both groups offer — Quad channel controllers
