UWT impresses with the first live presentation of the new Vibranivo® VN 7 vibrating fork The impact of the trade fair is still resonating at UWT: The experts for level measurement technology are incredibly proud of how enthusiastically visitors received the new Vibranivo® VN 7 vibrating fork. This ultra-compact vibrating fork was showcased live for the first time, and it’s certain that UWT will set new standards in liquid level monitoring with this innovation. With its versatile features and configuration options, the Vibranivo® VN 7 sensor is poised to revolutionise point level detection. From 10 to 14 June 2024, ACHEMA took place in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where UWT presented its latest innovations in level measurement technology alongside its existing portfolio. ACHEMA is a leading international trade fair and the world forum for chemical engineering and all areas of the process industry. Held every three years, it once again provided an excellent platform for innovations this year. Without a doubt, the first presentation of the new Vibranivo®…

In addition to numerous new products and innovations, the REMBE team surprised visitors to the world’s largest chemical exhibition with a world première. For the first time, an explosion was triggered by pure muscle power. The predestined candidate for this mission was REMBE brand ambassador and multiple Olympic medallist Robert Förstemann. Förstemann is a track cyclist and sprinter and, with his 80cm thigh circumference, has enough strength to pedal for 60 seconds at more than 600 watts on an ergometer. The energy generated was enough to cause a bursting disc to burst. The spectacle thrilled several thousand exhibition visitors from all over the world. Especially impressed is CEO Stefan Penno by his young and dynamic team at the exhibition stand: ”Everyone here didn’t just do their best, they gave their all and that leaves a very, very good impression on our visitors and customers.” The Brilon-based company expects that the order books will continue to fill up after the exhibition and that all the hard work will pay off.

Recycling-Technik & Solids Dortmund trade fairs with new highlights on October 9 and 10, 2024 When the trade fairs Solids & Recycling-Technik open their doors to the bulk solids and recycling technology industry on October 9 and 10, 2024 in Dortmund, they will once again prove to be a driving force in the industry with three new formats. The additional exhibition area on process automation will focus on another key topic for the sectors and the exclusive start-up area will showcase resourceful young companies for the first time. The ”Bulk Masters” hackathon, the third highlight in the line-up, will also bring a breath of fresh air to the industry get-together in Dortmund. With the main topics ”Food goes Powder” and ”Young Professionals”, young talents will develop extraordinary solutions for the hot topics of the challenge providers. New process automation area With the new exhibition area on process automation at the trade fairs Solids & Recycling-Technik on 9 and 10 October 2024 in Dortmund, the organizer Easyfairs Deutschland GmbH meets once…

The VEGAPULS 6X radar sensor in the new high-temperature version offers a solution for processes with temperatures of up to 450 °C. There are applications that push level measurement to its limits. Until recently, this included a process called iron briquetting, where it was almost impossible to achieve reliable measuring results due to extreme temperatures. That has changed. Now, the new high-temperature version of radar sensor VEGAPULS 6X provides a groundbreaking solution for processes at temperatures up to 450 °C. Sponge iron is an intermediate product in steel production. To store or transport it economically, it is often processed into briquettes. The technique involves passing the porous, spongy mass through heat-resistant roller presses at temperatures of 400 °C and higher. New solution for an old problem For many years, precise level measurement was the bottleneck in this process. Conventional measurement technology was not able to function reliably under the harsh conditions, because in addition to the heat, the low conductivity of iron also proved to be an impediment. For challenging…
