UWT’s rotary paddle level switch ensures a reliable process in peanut butter production: UWT’s RN6004 eliminates frequent sensor failures and reduces downtime and costs One of the world’s largest peanut butter companies, with a production plant in Kentucky, was having issues with their level measurement sensors installed in the production area of their plant. To solve the problem, the Rotonivo® rotary paddle sensor was introduced, which significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced plant downtime. Once again, UWT has demonstrated its experience and commitment to providing innovative solutions to the industry. Malfunctions and high costs At their production plant in Kentucky, the peanut butter manufacturer had been dealing with constant problems with their measurement sensors. The rotary paddle sensors by another brand that they had previously installed had a very short life span, often failing within a day. Eliminating high levels of downtime The main problem that was causing the sensor to break down was salt and sugar build-up around the probe shaft, which the motor was unable to remove. At the same time, these
