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

UWT impresses with the first live presentation of the new Vibranivo® VN 7 vibrating fork The impact of the trade fair is still resonating at UWT: The experts for level measurement technology are incredibly proud of how enthusiastically visitors received the new Vibranivo® VN 7 vibrating fork. This ultra-compact vibrating fork was showcased live for the first time, and it’s certain that UWT will set new standards in liquid level monitoring with this innovation. With its versatile features and configuration options, the Vibranivo® VN 7 sensor is poised to revolutionise point level detection. From 10 to 14 June 2024, ACHEMA took place in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where UWT presented its latest innovations in level measurement technology alongside its existing portfolio. ACHEMA is a leading international trade fair and the world forum for chemical engineering and all areas of the process industry. Held every three years, it once again provided an excellent platform for innovations this year. Without a doubt, the first presentation of the new Vibranivo®

Precise level measurement in dusty environments: UWT’s vibrating level switch Mononivo® ensures the highest quality in the food industry A renowned producer of yerba mate in Argentina was faced with the challenge of reliably monitoring the limit levels in a new production plant. The product itself presented particular challenges: A high-dust suspension with a low density of 400 g/l - and the need for specific certification for the food sector. Given the importance of this monitoring of over 100 measuring points, the customer focused on the durability and reliability of the sensors to be used. The plant operator needed a solution for precise control of low and very low fill levels that could meet the demanding conditions of the dusty and lightweight product. Additionally, the sensors had to comply with strict food safety standards and offer high reliability across a multitude of measuring points. Precise measurement at minimum fill levels For these specific requirements, UWT GmbH selected the Mononivo® - MN 4020 vibration switch. This sensor impresses with its high sensitivity, which can be adjusted

Level detectors detect media at a predefined position depending on the installation position. Level detectors are mainly installed as full or empty detectors in the upper or lower part of a silo or container. This prevents the silo from overfilling or running empty. In combination with a level sensor, this results in a redundant system which additionally increases plant safety. If a certain fill level is of particular interest, the sensors can also be used as demand detectors. There are different technologies for level detection, which have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. For the selection, numerous process conditions have to be considered, which the sensor technology has to cope with. In addition, the requirements for bulk solids sensors differ from those for liquid sensors. For this reason, UWT offers a broad portfolio of different technologies such as rotary paddle switches, vibration level switches and capacitive sensors. This allows us to individually address their requirements in order to always provide them with the
