How to configure solutions for level control of cement manufacturing processes

One of Italy’s largest building industry suppliers equipped its storing processes with suitable level measurement technology. The challenge was to find a system which can measure reliably even in this extremely dusty environment. Together with UWT a free-radiating continuous level measurement was configured. In addition to that a vibrating fork was installed for overfill protection within the truck transporters.

Every year, over 40 million cubic meters of ready-mixed concrete is processed in Germany. Already 85% of all concrete and fresh mortar required on construction sites are mixed in ready-mixed concrete plants. In aggregate, quarry and mining applications, the conditions are often harsh, noisy and dusty. The TDR level measurement devices with their high compatibility are used for consistently accurate continuous level detection under difficult varying process conditions, such as high pull-off forces, caking or condensate formation.

Solution for animal pharmacy with guided wave radar technology

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 from UWT was installed within the injection reactors. TDR sensors meet the highest safety standards, which makes them the preferred technology, especially in the pharmaceutical sector.

Solutions with guided wave radar technology in iron ore

In the metallurgy and metal sector, conditions are often harsh, noisy and dusty. The level measuring devices must be robust and absolutely reliable as standard in order to ensure a continuous, stress-free production process. A modern solution for continuous level measurement with guided wave radar sensors was configured for a global steel producer near Santo Domingo. For precise results, the level measurement technology had to be unaffected by dust, abrasion and high process temperatures.

How to equip the lifeline of the power plant with two classic solutions with modular design for many configuration options to implement transparent and more efficient process performance

One of India's largest energy suppliers equipped its coal handling processes with suitable level measurement technology to optimize the whole power plant flow. Together with UWT an adaptable limit level switch for the demand notification as well as a continuous level measurement was configured. The challenge was to find a system which can measure reliably even in this extremely dusty and harsh environment.
