UWT Signal Light Improves Process Safety in Silo Monitoring
Rotonivo® rotary paddle switches combined with the NivoLED® status light increase visibility, process safety and response times in the wood processing industry for Hazardous Areas
Large quantities of wood shavings and wood chips are generated during wood processing operations. In many facilities, these residual materials are utilised for energy generation and are combusted to produce heat and electricity.
Reliable Monitoring of Wood Shavings
At a major European manufacturer of wood-based materials, the resulting wood residues are utilised in an on-site biomass power plant. Before being used for energy generation, the materials are temporarily stored in several silos.
Level monitoring of the facility is managed centrally via a control system. Around 300 measurement poi
