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.
