Robust solutions with particularly long service life

For the operator of a closed, non-transparent silo system, independence means knowing the amount of material stored in it at all times. In this way, he can ensure that he orders supplies in good time and that supply or production bottlenecks are avoided. Independence also means using simple methods to measure the level or limit level in the silo. There is no question of independent manual measurement, which is usually time-consuming and also often inaccurate. Rather, uncomplicated measuring devices provide him with current data. For a system operator, independence also means not having to waste any further thought on the built-in measurement technology for recording the fill level or limit level. True to the motto “Install and forget”.
It is precisely such solutions that industrial plants need to be able to use with high-quality measurement technologies in order to make material processing processes run smoothly. Accordingly, the UWT team configured sensors for level detection for industry-typical applications at a manufacturer of yoghurt pots in Austria. The permanent measurement technology is certified in accordance with the standard for international approvals for areas at risk of gas and dust explosions. The plant operator stores plastic in his silos. The Vibranivo® VN 2000 fork was installed, which reliably and quickly detects the limit level within the silos – and has done so for over 30 years! In 1989 the company decided in favor of measuring devices from UWT GmbH. Since then, the overfill protection and the no-load protection have been reliable and maintenance-free. Vibranivo® vibrating forks with their stainless steel arms and high sensitivity are used in many process containers and storage silos as point level indicators for bulk solids detection. They are robust, easy to put into operation and can be configured precisely for the application using the various device series when selecting the sensor.
