In 2014, Instek Control launched the Level Transmitter Mining (LTM-2) level measurement probe as an alternative to traditional measurement systems for difficult and sometimes seemingly impossible measuring environments. 
Just over six years later, the LTM-2 has become a highly popular measurement tool in the mining and pulp and paper industries. 

Simple and fast installation

One of the major benefits of the LTM-2 has proven to be its easy installation process.

Installing the LTM-2 probe instead of ultrasonic equipment has the advantage of not being density-dependent and is not sensitive to froth or product build-up. The probe can be installed within five minutes and requires low maintenance, thereby making it “virtually maintenance-free” as there are no mechanical moving parts. When installed and utilised correctly, the LTM-2 probe will deliver on performance, creating a stable control environment for flotation applications.

A benchmark success

With a setup that can be achieved in less than 5 minutes, the LTM-2 probe has been adopted with great success, especially in the mining industry. Besides easy installation, the LTM-2 provides the following advantages when installed in place of ultrasonic devices:

• No moving parts
• Not density dependent
• Not sensitive to froth or product build-up
• The probes are virtually maintenance free

The unit has proven to accurately measures the pulp/froth interface and provides a stable feedback signal at an optimal update rate without excessive ‘damping’, all of which provides improved process control and stability.

Setting higher standards leads to continuous improvement of performance.
