Reliable level measurement with guided wave technology
TDR sensors meet the highest safety standards, which makes them the preferred technology, especially in the pharmaceutical sector. A manufacturer of veterinary products equipped several of his process tanks for various liquids with modern level measurement technology. Due to the process conditions, the coaxial version of the guided wave radar sensor was installed within the injection reactors. Modular device design for flexible installation solutions In the course of expanding investments in machinery, equipment and buildings, a manufacturer of various pharmaceutical veterinary preparations in Argentina was looking for an accurate and durable solution to automate level measurement within his production facilities. Over 500 registered veterinary products are manufactured there for the global veterinary market. A special installation with radar measurement technology was implemented for level measurement within several 2000 liter reactors with different injection products. Due to the implemented heating system of the tanks, the interior space for the installation was very limited. The various

Capacitive measurement technology for cooling water containing H2-gas
Capacitance measurement technology realizes a very fast measurement (<1s) and is not influenced by the prevailing steam or pressure fluctuations. Capacitance level measurement in tanks Level sensors that work according to the capacitive measuring principle are used in different liquids, pastes, foams and slurries and can be implemented in all types and shapes of tanks, metallic or non-metallic. They have a very high level of precision in both conductive and non-conductive media. If you look at the whole thing in practice, it becomes clear how versatile the capacitive measuring principle is in very different process conditions. Proven technology For a steel-producing plant, a continuous level measurement, which works unaffected by steam or pressure fluctuations within a very small measuring range, was implemented with the NivoCapa® NC 8000 in water for gas cooling. The proven technology with active buildup compensation and a tunable oscillator was a flexible solution for optimizing the manufacturing process. Measurement accuracy One of the top 10 steel producers worldwide was looking for an insensitive

Process optimization for hydropower plants
Solutions in the dam - Compact limit switch for process optimization for hydropower plants as a backwater detector for wood chip conveyance. One of the largest energy supply companies in the UK was looking for modern equipment for its northern dam with flexible metering technology. The electricity and natural gas supplier for local households and businesses has been focusing on hydropower generation for several years, in addition to wind power. The centrepiece of the dam’s hydropower plant is the installed wood chip system, which was recently implemented to curb pollution in the dam. Accumulated wood chips are transported to a designated storage area via a series of chain conveyors. These chain conveyors need to be monitored with modern and robust measurement technology. Namely, an indicator that functions as a full detector is required in the transfer chutes in order to detect a blockage with the wood chips in good time. Full detection for wood chip conveyance Together with the subsidiary UWT (UK) Ltd in Shrewsbury, a safe solution was found after several tests with oscillating probes that work according

Radar provides the level monitoring solution within a UK paper mill Radar sensor from UWT is the bespoke solution for content measurement
Radar provides the level monitoring solution within a UK paper mill
Radar sensor from UWT is the bespoke solution for content measurement Continuous level monitoring devices regulate and control liquid or solid levels in a processing plant, helping to streamline the operation, eliminate human error and thus maximise overall efficiency. And so level control devices should be and are an investment that needs careful research and consideration to ensure that the investment in such kit is wisely made. Our customer, a large paper mill based in the UK, approached UWT UK Ltd to achieve all the above for the monitoring of their coal silo and in a backwater tank. A mechanical system in the coal silo and ultrasonic technology in the backwater tank had both failed leaving the monitoring task being executed manually using a tape measure dropped in through the tops of the silo and tank. Clearly, it was time to upgrade. So the customer approached UWT UK Ltd to visit and inspect the applications and to advise on a long term, reliable solution within budget. Time & consideration During the site visit the UWT

Rotary Paddle Level Switch for overfill and dry run protection The terms ‘functional safety’ and ‘safety integrity level (SIL)’ have occurred more frequently since the publication of the international standard IEC 61508/IEC61511.
Rotary Paddle Level Switch for overfill and dry run protection
The terms ‘functional safety’ and ‘safety integrity level (SIL)’ have occurred more frequently since the publication of the international standard IEC 61508/IEC61511. SIL2 for rotating paddle series Particularly in systems with hazard-causing processes, such as in chemical plants, the consideration of functional safety has become indispensable. On this basis safety-related practices, design principles and error considerations must be met in order to minimize the risk of a dangerous failure. Risk mitigation in accordance with SIL2 The UWT engineers focused on this topic and designed the rotating paddle switch Rotonivo® RN 6000 series according to the normative requirements of functional safety to ensure safety functions in a risk mitigation in accordance with SIL2. Typical safety functions are overfill and dry run protection. Full, demand or empty Depending on the requirements, the Rotonivo® rotary paddle switch is used as a full, demand or empty detector in storage silos or process vessels and is suitable for use in almost all solids. With its simple electromechanical measuring principle it can also be adapted for extreme

No loss of hops and malt with the right measuring technology  Active batch balancing & food conformity & CIP suitability
No loss of hops and malt with the right measuring technology
Active batch balancing & food conformity & CIP suitability In the food industry, absolute hygiene is of crucial importance, with high demands being placed on the measurement technology to be installed in terms of design, functionality and reliability. In the beverage industry in particular, these requirements can be very specific. A Peruvian beer manufacturer was looking for suitable solutions for overfill and running-empty protection for its process tanks with different solid and liquid raw materials. The malt dosing system was designed with innovative RF technology. Capacitive limit switches from UWT were installed, which are designed for high temperatures and applications with highly caking materials such as the viscous liquid of the malt mixture. It tastes better when you know your limits The difficulty in beer production lies in controlling the correct malt dosage during the addition of water for dissolving. This was due to the fact that the grain became very sticky after moistening, which led to false alarms for

Upgrade of level monitoring system in grain storage A large grain storage facility in the south of England required a reliable content measuring device to replace an old acoustic wave system which was no longer functioning.
Upgrade of level monitoring system in grain storage
A large grain storage facility in the south of England required a reliable content measuring device to replace an old acoustic wave system which was no longer functioning. Configured was a non-contact radar measurement device from UWT combined with a visualization software. Non-contact continuous level measurement UWT (UK) Limited proposed the use of the free-radiating radar NivoRadar® NR 3100 which could be supplied with an aiming flange. The integrated aiming flange allowed the radar to be mounted in the same position as the previous acoustic wave device which was close to the silo side wall and which allowed for the narrow 4˚ beam to be aimed towards the lowest point of the silo. This saved the customer time and money as they didn’t need to move the mounting position towards the centre of the silo where the silo was filled from. Free-radiating radar sensors can determine the level of a medium without contact. The so-called FMCW radar measurement method (Frequency Modulated Continous Wave) is used for this purpose. The transmitted signal is modulated between two known frequency values (NivoRadar® 78...79 GHz) and the difference
