Building, Cement & Quarry
In aggregate, quarry and mining applications, the conditions are often extremely noisy and dusty. UWT offers robust sensors with total reliability as standard - whether for mobile plastering machines, mixing systems with heavy vibrating conditions, volume measurements within dosing tanks, stone crushers, conveyors or cement storage silos.
The challenge
Our customer needed to measure the sludge level in a lamellar separator. The contaminated water comes from a large metal recycling plant, and the sludge level measurement is used to control a pump, which pumps the sludge into a press.
Our solution
In this particularly difficult application, the UWT VIBRANIVO VN1000 vibrating fork with a specially developed electronic module for interface measurement is the solution. The adjustable sensitivity means the sensor can be set to the required switch point. The VN1000 offers total maintenance-free functionality and has also been well proven in other interface applications. The excellent cost-/performance ratio is another plus in comparison with other measurement principles.
