UWT Steps Up Global Growth Strategy for Liquid Measurement

UWT Group’s 8th International Sales Meeting in Germany united global partners to strategize future growth, aligning global market approaches under the new strategic milestone motto: ”We are liquid ready.”
Under the motto “Liquid ready?.”, the international UWT Group gathered at its headquarters in southern Germany for the 8th International Sales Meeting (ISM) during the first week of May.
Together with subsidiaries, sales partners, and employees from around the world, the event focused on an intensive week of strategic planning, international exchange, and future-oriented collaboration.

Collaborative Planning for Long-Term Growth

The event began with the joint 7-year strategic planning process involving the eight UWT subsidiaries. Key topics included targets and plans related to revenue growth, employee development, infrastructure, and future capacity requirements. Over the coming months, these concepts will be further refined and consolidated into a shared strategy for the entire UWT Group.
Strategy turned into commitment – and this commitment is intended to drive sustainable growth: step by step and market by market.

Global Experts Align for International Strategy

By Tuesday evening, sales partners from 35 nations had gathered in southern Germany – home of the UWT headquarters – for the official ISM. From Wednesday onward, subsidiaries, sales partners, the management of the UWT Group, and colleagues from sales, product management, and marketing worked together on future strategies, market approaches, and the further development of UWT’s global positioning.

Shifting Focus: ”We Are Liquid Ready”

One of the defining aspects of the event was the development of the central theme throughout the week. At the beginning, the key question was: Are we ready for the liquid market? Following intensive workshops, presentations, and hands-on technical sessions, the answer became a clear statement: We are liquid ready.

Expanding the Liquid Application Portfolio

UWT clearly demonstrated that the company already offers a strong portfolio for liquid applications today – ranging from sensor solutions to monitoring and visualization systems. At the same time, the event highlighted the development efforts and strategic focus with which UWT plans to further expand its liquid business in the future.
In addition to sales strategies, particular attention was given to global marketing campaigns, new communication approaches, and the further development of international market strategies.

Empowering Global Partners with Technical Know-How

A special focus was placed on making international sales partners “Liquid Ready” – providing them with technical know-how, concrete sales arguments, application expertise, and strategies for successfully expanding the liquid business in their respective markets.
The shared objective: To further strengthen UWT’s global position as a supplier of level measurement and monitoring technology – for solids and liquids.

Olympic Inspiration and Hands-On Technology

One of the highlights of the event was the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Michael Groß. The former professional swimmer, three-time Olympic champion, and five-time world champion shared valuable insights on motivation, change, and successful collaboration through his experience as an entrepreneur, coach, and honorary professor for organization and leadership.
The ISM also provided numerous technical insights. Product Management guided participants through various themed areas with different technical focuses. The response was consistently positive – practical, professionally prepared, and met with great interest by attendees.

A Mediterranean Finale to Celebrate Global Unity

The event concluded with a joint evening gathering at the UWT headquarters. For the occasion, a small “beach” area with deck chairs and a beach bar was created as a tribute to the UWT production site in Malta, where the ISM had originally been planned to take place. In keeping with the Mediterranean atmosphere, typical Maltese drinks and specialties were also served.
The 8th International Sales Meeting once again underlined the international orientation of the UWT Group and the shared focus on further growth in the global market for level measurement technology.

Robust in nitric acid, reliable in CIP cleaning
UWT vibrating level switches - Safe cleaning and descaling with nitric acid – process reliability in the dairy industry In dairy processing, nitric acid (HNO₃) is specifically used to descale pipelines, heat exchangers and tank systems. Safe handling of this aggressive chemical is essential – both to protect the equipment and to ensure the safety of personnel. Cleaning is carried out as part of proven and standardised CIP (Cleaning in Place) processes that ensure the hygienic integrity of the production system. Concentrated acids or alkalis are often used for this purpose. These are stored in dedicated tanks and diluted to the required concentration during the cleaning cycle directly within the production system. For safe storage, nitric acid is kept in corrosion-resistant stainless steel tanks – ensuring long-term stability and reliable availability within the CIP system. The focus of this application is on the use of chemically resistant materials in all installed sensors to ensure long-term functional reliability and maximum process safety under demanding conditions.

Reliable and Hygienic Ice Cream Production with UWT Level Control
To guarantee stable operation, both continuous level measurement and precise point level detection are essential. Ice cream is one of the world’s favorite foods. At the start of production, raw milk must be stored under strictly controlled hygienic conditions. Reliable level measurement plays a key role in ensuring smooth processes, enabling efficient cleaning cycles, and allowing flexible integration into dairy applications. In a typical ice cream production plant, raw milk is temporarily held in an agitated vessel before further processing. At the same time, challenges such as agitators, confined installation conditions in outlet pipes, and regular CIP/SIP cleaning cycles must be addressed. Process Challenges * High hygiene requirements for raw milk handling * Frequent cleaning with chemically demanding CIP/SIP processes * Agitators influencing the product surface * Limited installation space in outlet piping UWT Solution Concept: Radar and Vibration Technology Combined For continuous level monitoring, a NivoRadar® NR 8400 is installed in the tank.

How RF Technology Works RF Technology Decoded by UWT – How Electrical Signals Deliver Reliable Level Detection
How RF Technology Works
RF Technology Decoded by UWT – How Electrical Signals Deliver Reliable Level Detection RF technology (Radio Frequency Capacitance) uses high-frequency measurement for precise level detection. Unlike purely capacitive sensors, it detects not only changes in capacitance but also the specific resistance of the medium. This ensures reliable measurement even under challenging conditions. How does RF technology work? The principle is based on an electrical voltage divider. Together with the medium, the probe forms a measuring system that detects both capacitance and impedance. Impedance describes the total electrical resistance a medium presents to an alternating current. It indicates how strongly a material reacts to electrical signals – and this change is exactly what RF technology uses for reliable detection. When the material comes into contact with the electrode, the capacitance increases abruptly – a clear signal that the level has been reached. The longer the active electrode, the more sensitively the probe responds. This allows the measurement

Smart Handling of Aggressive Media UWT Sensors Monitor IBCs from the Outside
Smart Handling of Aggressive Media
UWT Sensors Monitor IBCs from the Outside Safe storage and reliable monitoring of caustic soda in a dairy application UWT has introduced a smart, non-contact level measurement solution for aggressive media stored in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). This system uses external sensors, eliminating direct contact with corrosive agents like caustic soda for safer, flexible, and more sustainable monitoring in plants. Safe and Flexible Monitoring of Aggressive Media Smaller dairies often use IBC containers for aggressive disinfectants like caustic soda (NaOH) instead of large stationary tanks. This practical approach allows the medium to be diluted and fed into cleaning-in-place (CIP/SIP) systems. UWT’s solution provides non-contact monitoring from outside the tank, ensuring a safer and more flexible operation. Non-Contact Continuous Level Measurement The continuous level measurement is handled by the NivoRadar® NR 7100. This free-radiating 80 GHz FMCW radar sensor is mounted vertically above the
