Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining the layer height of a feed material, which is supplied to a crushing and/or screening plant of a material processing device, wherein a conveyor device is used to convey the feed material in a conveying direction, wherein a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensors is used to determine the layer height of the feed material. A reliable method that can be performed with little effort and without impairing the operation of the material processing device is achieved by the longitudinal axes of the detection volumes of the sensors extending at least partially in and/or counter to the conveying direction.
