Precise Radar & Vibration Sensor Technology for Challenging Processes Sensitive UWT Measurement Solutions for the Pneumatic Conveying and Storage of Ultra-Fine Silicon Dioxide
Precise Radar & Vibration Sensor Technology for Challenging Processes
Sensitive UWT Measurement Solutions for the Pneumatic Conveying and Storage of Ultra-Fine Silicon Dioxide Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is used across many industries – from paint and plastics manufacturing to food and pharmaceutical, and in producing modern insulation materials. In chemical process engineering especially, this fine-grained, often fluidized powder places high demands on storage, conveying, and level monitoring. An insulation material production project shows how UWT sensor solutions operate reliably even with extremely fine-grained, pneumatically conveyed silica. Despite heavy dust loads and low bulk density, these sensors enable precise and process-secure level and point level measurement. In a plant that produces heat and sound insulation boards, highly dispersed silica (SiO₂) is temporarily stored in vertical silos approximately 25 m high before further processing. The aim was accurate material detection – both for continuous level measurement and point level detection. THE APPLICATION - Combined Level and Point Level Detection

Accurate Level Measurement with Non-contact Radar
The technology behind UWT’s NivoRadar®. With UWT’s radar technology, levels can be measured precisely and without contact – even under the toughest conditions. Dust, high temperatures or agitated surfaces – challenging measuring conditions are part of everyday operations in many industries. Continuous level measurement using non-contact radar has proven to be one of the most reliable and versatile methods for a wide range of applications. This also includes sensitive areas with particularly high hygiene requirements. With UWT’s radar technology, levels can be measured precisely and without contact – even under the toughest conditions. Precise Level Measurement with Radar – Reliable, Non-contact, Future-Proof Two main technologies radar sensors # Non-contact radar measurement (free-radiating radar): In this method, the radar signal is emitted and reflected without direct contact with the medium. UWT’s NivoRadar® models utilise this principle for liquids and bulk solids in silos, tanks, open containers, or stockpiles. A major advantage is the maintenance-free operation, as there are no mechanical components. #

Radar and Level detectors by UWT: Precision for the Food Industry Smart sensor technology for reliable measurement and visual monitoring – even in dusty environments, narrow silos, and sensitive process conditions
Radar and Level detectors by UWT: Precision for the Food Industry
Smart sensor technology for reliable measurement and visual monitoring – even in dusty environments, narrow silos, and sensitive process conditions Ingredients such as flour, salt or dry yeast are often stored in compact silos within the food industry – frequently connected directly to mixing or dosing systems. Dust, confined vessel geometries, and short measuring distances place high demands on the sensor technology. UWT’s radar sensors and vibrating level switches reliably meet these challenges and ensure stable, automated processes – even with light, fine-grained materials. Challenging conditions for level measurement Sensors used in food production must deliver precise and reliable performance, even under difficult conditions. This includes handling fine, lightweight bulk solids prone to bridging. Additional challenges include short measuring distances, limited installation space, and strict hygiene requirements. At the same time, integration into existing systems should be as simple and straightforward as possible. Smart sensor solutions from UWT Precise, compact, reliable; UWT offers a robust

UWT redefines point level measurement with EHEDG design  Upgrade of the Rotonivo® rotary paddle level switch: EHEDG certification sets new hygiene standards
UWT redefines point level measurement with EHEDG design
Upgrade of the Rotonivo® rotary paddle level switch: EHEDG certification sets new hygiene standards Exciting updates in the field of level measurement for bulk solids: With the innovative EHEDG design of the UWT Rotonivo® rotating paddle detector series, UWT, as a global solution provider, is setting new standards in point level measurement. This development enables an even wider range of applications to be able to benefit from this technology and the series can now also be used in sensitive industrial sectors such as food production, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. For this, the proven design of the Rotonivo® rotating paddle sensor has been significantly enhanced and now complies with the EHEDG standards (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). Depending on the application, the sensor can be used as a full, demand or empty detector in containers with bulk solids and fulfils the highest hygiene requirements with the EHEDG design. Insight into the EHEDG-certified product upgrade The EHEDG version fundamentally differs from the standard version.

Reliable Point Level Detection for Coffee Filling–with the UWT Sensor Process reliability with varying bulk materials, no need for recalibration. Vibranivo® VN 4020 vibrating level switch: high flexibility and reliable performance
Reliable Point Level Detection for Coffee Filling–with the UWT Sensor
Process reliability with varying bulk materials, no need for recalibration. Vibranivo® VN 4020 vibrating level switch: high flexibility and reliable performance A production facility for coffee and cocoa products was looking for a reliable solution for point level detection during manufacturing and packaging. The particular challenge was that various products such as instant coffee, chicory, and cocoa were used alternately, each with different material properties. Despite this variety, the sensor needed to operate consistently and precisely, without the need for recalibration. The Challenge The product range included various materials such as roasted coffee beans, ground coffee, instant coffee, chicory, and cocoa. Instant coffee, in particular, may contain sugar and milk powder, depending on the variety, which creates a particularly sticky substance during mixing - a real challenge for level measurement technology. In the packaging line, a solution was needed that ensured reliable point level detection even with frequently changing bulk materials while also meeting strict hygiene requirements. Key Challenges at-a-glance: *
