Rotary vane sensors and radar sensors for complete control in the Waste-to-Energy Power Plant In a beautiful part of the UK, a waste-to-energy plant required a complete level control solution across the site. The Challenge In order to streamline the whole supply chain process for this, the customer sought one supplier who could provide a one-stop source of advice, expertise and products. The UWT UK team was able to do this by establishing a trusted relationship with the customer giving them security and certainty and of course total efficiency throughout the consultative process through to device installation. The Solution The whole application involved identifying the right products for both continuous and point level monitoring throughout the plant. For the point level measurement of fly ash within the filtration systems, various bespoke configurations of the Rotonivo® - RN 3002 rotary paddle level switch and the Mononivo® - MN 4030 vibrating rod were installed for the point level measurement of fly ash in the filter systems. It was important for

Sesotec White Paper: How sorting with AI methods takes the plastics cycle to a new level. More precise sorting with greater efficiency and sustainability Sesotec, a leading supplier of equipment and systems for industrial contaminant detection and sorting, has published a new white paper on “How sorting with AI methods takes the plastics cycle to a new level”. This white paper highlights the crucial role of artificial intelligence (AI) in overcoming current challenges in the plastics recycling industry. Shape, type, color or texture Artificial intelligence is increasingly establishing itself as a key technology in all industrial sectors to tackle a variety of challenges more innovatively, efficiently and economically. Recent AI developments in the field of sorting plastics by shape, type, color or texture enable more precise sorting. This significantly increases recycling efficiency and contributes to a more sustainable circular economy. Benefit from innovations In this white paper, Sesotec explains the latest developments in artificial intelligence for sorting and shows how companies can benefit from these

Moisture is important in any manufacturing process, but when it comes to food processing, excess moisture can ruin products and create excess waste. And what is worse than a wasted effort? With continuous online moisture measurement, food production plants will find huge money savings. Knowing the moisture content of the materials used throughout the food and baking process has become one of the most critical components in the industry as many raw materials sold today are based upon weight. MoistTech moisture sensors can provide a quick test of the moisture levels of the manufacturer’s raw ingredients, effectively saving purchasing plants a lot of money. While moisture is our major focus, we also supply analyzers for the continuous online measurement of protein, fat/oil, sugar, seasonings, caffeine, and other constituents or elements that absorb the NIR beam. Moisture measurement and control can provide immediate benefits: * Reduce dryer usage and energy costs * Proper control of the infeed and dryer exit * Better final product quality * Consistency of your final product * 100% product inspection Realizing that many food processing companies

4B Group’s new IE-GuardFlex for DHMS uses advanced Ethernet to connect and monitor sensors across machines, initiating shutdowns when risks are detected. 4B Group proudly announces the launch of their Distributed Hazard Monitoring Solution (DHMS) featuring the IE-GuardFlex. Leveraging advanced industrial Ethernet technology, the IE-GuardFlex control unit seamlessly connects and monitors sensors across multiple machines using 4B’s state-of-the-art IE-Node technology. This robust system can be configured for multiple machines, IE-Nodes, and sensors, directly interfacing with machine control centres to initiate shutdowns upon detecting potential risks. Ideal for central control rooms and ”non-hazardous areas,” the IE-GuardFlex connects to IE-Nodes in ”at-risk zones” via industrial CAT6 Ethernet cables. Monitored machinery includes bucket elevators, enclosed and open conveyors, chain conveyors, rollers, and more. ATEX-certified sensors connected to local IE-Nodes monitor critical conditions like belt slip (SlipSwitch, Milli-Speed), belt misalignment (TouchSwitch, Bulldog), bearing temperatures (ADB, Milli-Temp),

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
