Continuous level measurement technology from UWT was installed for the upgrade of the wastewater system of a company in the food manufacturing industry in Colombia. Together with the local partner INTAI INGENIERIA S.A.S. several on-site tests were carried out and a non-contact solution was preferred. Chemical and disinfectant substances require chemical resistance and a robust design. Accurate and fast level measurement The manufacturer of various dairy products needed a reliable solution to control medium solid waste from the plant’s effluent treatment process. The concrete tanks are 4 meters long and the material has the consistency of sludge with a DK value of 4. The pressure is in the range of 0.8 bar (11.6 psi) up to 5 bar (73 psi). There is no electrostatic charge. The process temperatures reach up to 80 °C (176 °F). Within the process hoppers there is a high degree of moisture and some build up. Accuracy as well as a quick response time were especially relevant to the process. High frequency signal Finally, the NivoRadar® 7100 was implemented into the wastewater treatment system. The certified sensors were…

Vibrations induced by applications are disturbing, annoying and from a certain point on lead to disruptions in production - this should be avoided Wherever something moves, vibrations occur. These are generally disturbing for the environment and in the worst case can lead to machine failures and thus to restrictions in production. Active machine mounts from RG+ Schwingungstechnik GmbH offer the possibility of isolating vibrations and thus preventing expensive production downtimes and disruptions to the environment. In addition to our dampers made of a stainless steel wire mesh, the product portfolio of RG+ Schwingungstechnik GmbH also includes spring isolators consisting of a combination of springs and damping pads. This solution offers the customer, in addition to the pure vibration isolation by springs, a damping integrated into the bearing. Unintentional rocking of the machines in the resonance range can be effectively reduced. However, this damping is not the only advantage of the FR series. When additional dynamic loads are considered, the cushion has a positive effect on the action of the spring isolators,…

Hazardous manufacturing conditions caused by excessive dust can create an explosion in an instant – causing irreparable damage. Plant operators need to be aware of the dry conditions caused by their production facility and proactively avoid hazards from occuring. Many wood and mineral applications create an excessive amount of dust that also contributes to the wear and tear on equipment due to ash and dust buildup, preventing blockages on conveyors resulting in shutting down the boiler. MoistTech manufactures the diamond standard in moisture measurement and control sensors for both use directly on the production line. Providing the best solution in the industry, our near-infrared sensors can detect moisture levels within your product, allowing our equipment to be a staple for a wide range of sectors and disciplines. Performance & Stability Mining production companies are constantly adjusting moisture levels to maintain the quality of their products because small variations & excess moisture in mixes can result clumping, which effects quality and consistency. Too dry of a product can result…

ISO 20560 is the first standard to provide internationally accepted rules on how and where to identify tanks. Brady provides clear marker layouts that are easily legible and understandable. ISO 20560 is the first standard to provide internationally accepted rules on how and where to identify tanks. They make efficient maintenance and first responder interventions a lot easier. In addition, the tank markers correspond with ISO 20560 pipe markers, and offer fast insight into how installations are connected. Brady can advise on matching stored substances to ISO 20560 colour codes for optimal compliance. On top of that Brady provides clear marker layouts that are easily legible and understandable. Compliant. Clear. Visible where it matters. ISO 20560 tank markers from Brady clearly indicate hidden substance risks and provide important safety information on the tank itself about personal protection equipment to wear and warnings or prohibitions to take into account. This information contributes considerably to safe and efficient maintenance operations. In addition, ISO 20560 rules for tank marking also apply to pipe markers, enabling maintenance teams to…

TECHNOLOGY. PERFORMANCE. PARTNERSHIP. The UWT Family and presented its new brand story at its ”7th International Sales Meeting 2023”, showing that we are ready for more worldwide

Using the service bike to additionally promote the common good Most companies now offer service bicycles to their employees. The providers are generally on a high level. A breath of fresh air comes from a sales company that not only accompanies the process from the initial engagement with the topic to the onboarding of employees, but also masters the balancing act of combining public welfare interests with sales. In a highly competitive environment, which is strongly influenced by digital, you can only survive through the highest quality. FairVenture meets this demand with its service leasing offer. In addition, the founders and implementers have the high standard of promoting the common good. They have contractually guaranteed that at least 80% of the profits will be donated to projects for the common good. And the commitment goes even further. For those implementing the service bike in their companies, cooperation with FairVenture means not only the service of the industry leader, but also assistance with everyday problems,…
