Solutions For Tricky Level Measurement Challenges

The rotary paddle detector regulates the supply of wood chips in the reactor and withstands extreme temperatures

Special solutions with increased corrosion resistance of point level measurement equipment

Performance failures of level sensors cause costs to rise – not only due to the interruption of process but also when the replacement and commissioning of the devices become time-consuming.  Capacitive RF probes with full coating protection as a safe and reliable measurement solution especially in flue gas cleaning.

First rotating paddle limit switch with SIL2 worldwide

The terms ‘functional safety’ and ‘safety integrity level (SIL)’ have occurred more frequently since the publication of the international standard IEC 61508/IEC61511. 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.

Different project planning options for plant operators with vibrating rod or vibrating fork

When projecting the equipment with measurement technology for plants around the globe, technicians and engineers have noticed that in recent years there has been a noticeable increase in demand for more compact limit switches that have a very high level of compatibility worldwide. There is a demand for measuring solutions that are characterised by common technical features and can be used in very many applications without much configuration effort. Compact, robust single-bars are preferred, for example for small containers in material-processing operations. One design that has become established on international markets has very small connection threads and works according to the vibration principle.
