High-quality measurement technology with exclusive 6-year warranty; The UWT quality promise: Modern - Durable - Sustainable The UWT Group is considered an expert for simple, safe and accurate level measurement, point level determination and interface detection in any type of bulk solids and liquids. The many years of success are based on the high quality of the products, innovative thinking and close cooperation with customers. That is why the company is the first manufacturer of measurement technology on the global industrial markets to offer a warranty extension to 6 years for all UWT sensors. The UWT quality promise Modern - Durable - Sustainable; Plant builders and end customers around the world appreciate the customer-specific and user-friendly technologies of the German medium-sized company as well as the easy handling and longevity of the UWT sensors. With many years of experience, the company knows that high-quality and maintenance-free sensor technology is an important aspect for plant operators in all industries. Measurement technology at the highest level Guaranteed quality

A large grain storage facility in the south of England required a reliable content measuring device to replace an old acoustic wave system which was no longer functioning. Configured was a non-contact radar measurement device from UWT combined with a visualization software. Non-contact continuous level measurement UWT (UK) Limited proposed the use of the free-radiating radar NivoRadar® NR 3100 which could be supplied with an aiming flange. The integrated aiming flange allowed the radar to be mounted in the same position as the previous acoustic wave device which was close to the silo side wall and which allowed for the narrow 4˚ beam to be aimed towards the lowest point of the silo. This saved the customer time and money as they didn’t need to move the mounting position towards the centre of the silo where the silo was filled from. Free-radiating radar sensors can determine the level of a medium without contact. The so-called FMCW radar measurement method (Frequency Modulated Continous Wave) is used for this purpose. The transmitted signal is modulated between two known frequency values (NivoRadar® 78...79 GHz) and the difference

An animal feed manufacturer in Ireland was looking for reliable level indicators including overfill protection and empty protection as part of the modernization of the plant equipment. When installing the sensors in different pressure conveying containers for seaweed meal, the high dust intensity had to be considered in particular. By planning a capacitive level switch from UWT with innovative RF technology, a compatible solution that is robust and delivers reliable results was found. It is also advantageous for this application if the sensors have small connection threads and can implement precise switching with a quick response. Excursus: Seaweed meal in animal feed Since 1994, feeding animal meal to pets and farm animals has been banned throughout the EU because it is a potential transmitter of the BSE pathogen. That’s why seaweed flour is now used as an alternative. Seaweed meal is added to the feed of pets such as dogs or farm animals such as cattle as a dietary supplement. It is rich in various nutrients, vitamins, fiber, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as iodine, potassium or sodium. All of these nutrients have positive

At ACHEMA 2022 over 2,200 exhibitors from more than 50 countries showcased the latest equipment and innovative processes for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries at the Frankfurt fairgrounds from 22 to 26 August. Whether it was laboratory or pharmaceutical technology, plant engineering or classic process technology, the stands in the halls were well attended and the fairgrounds were bustling with activity. ”The need for personal exchange is huge after such a long time. The exhibitors we spoke to and we ourselves had a successful trade show, where we held numerous discussions with direct project or investment relevance,” confirms Jürgen Nowicki, Chairman of the ACHEMA Committee and CEO of Linde Engineering. Dr Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH, is also very satisfied: ”We had to fight like never before for the success of this very special ACHEMA. The fact that, despite all the headwinds, we nevertheless succeeded in creating an ACHEMA that exceeded the expectations of the vast majority of our customers makes us happy and proud – and at the same time is a credit to our team and all the exhibitors who have remained loyal to us.” ”We also live up
