Certification of UWT products for the Belorussian market As part of the governmental certification of the UWT products for the Belorussian market the audit commission visited the headquarters of UWT in Betzigau from 21st to 25th March. The goal of the metrological certification is the registration of the UWT products Nivobob and Nivowave in the State Register of Measurement Technology of the Republic of Belarus. During the visit numerous tests and examinations have been conducted with these units. The test results showed that the UWT products Nivobob and Nivowave meet all Belorussian standards and therefore there is no further obstacle to the registration. "UWT belongs to the few companies in Europe showing a perfect organization, a thorough preparation and excellent final results. Regarding product quality, business organization and quality assurance UWT is even exemplary"- so the chairman of the Commission.

by DeltaNu RAPID.ID™ is a palm-sized, lightweight Raman spectrometer that performs non-destructive identification of chemicals and materials in real time, whenever, wherever testing is needed. RAPID.ID is easy to learn and use, making it the ideal system for non-technical personnel. By eliminating the expense and wait time associated with sending samples to a laboratory for testing, RAPID.ID is also the cost-effective choice. By comparing the Raman spectra of a sample against that of the chemicals and materials stored in its reference library, RAPID.ID collects and identifies the make-up of samples and results appear in seconds on its highly visible LED display. RAPID.ID connects via USB to a PC for further sample analysis. RAPID.ID is used for QA/QC applications in the chemicals, consumer products, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and plastics industries.

Accurate volume measuring in large silos, open bins and warehouses To have a high accurate inventory control system, Rembe GmbH , European distributor for APM 3D volume scanner systems, introduces the Multi Scanner System. The system is special for silos diameter from 5 mtr up to 50 mtr .For the first time, the finance manager, plant manager and inventory control manager, can base their decisions on accurately measured data rather the estimated figures. The ROI is short because of the high acuracy compared with a 1 point level measuring system.The Model MVL, visualisation feature provides early warning of build-up loads and bridges that radomly form over time enabling immediate response to maintenance problems. The software provides real-time data about the product being stored: volume, weight, historical logs, maximum/minimum levels. The common applications : sugar, grain, coal, cement, flyash, plastiscs, animal feed, pet food and many more. Rembe is also producer of high accurate flow meters & belt scales and European distributor…

Storage, mixing and discharge of bulk materials with average particle sizes of less than 0.1 mm frequently causes problems because these bulk materials do not flow freely and therefore are almost impossible to discharge. They tend to agglomerate and form bridges and tunnels, particularly around the silo outlet, thereby obstructing the free flow of the material out of the storage vessel. A proven solution to such problems is the fluidization of the bulk materials using custom-made aeration bottoms, cones or inserts which we manufacture to your specifications. Dry, dust-free air is injected to reduce the friction and cohesive forces of the bulk material, producing a continuous flow of material out of the vessel. Air supply pressure and velocity of air must be set at such a rate that the contents of the silo are evenly loosened. When fitting-out large silo areas with aerations units, it is advantageous to divide them into sectors which can be aerated interchangeably.…

Problems are often experienced when handling powdery and fined-grained bulk materials, such as flour, cement, pigments or fine plastic powders. Storage, mixing and discharge are difficult because these fine-grained powders do not flow freely. They tend to agglomerate and form bridges or tunnels around the silo outlet and, therefore, can only be removed effectively using some sort of discharge aid. A highly efficient solution to these problems are pneumatic Siperm-aeration components. They are supplied complete with all the necessary hardware (seal, washer, nut) and can also be retrofitted into existing systems. Ready-to-install aeration pads are supplied complete with all the necessary hardware (seal, washer, nut). They are ideally suited for installation at those sites where access is limited or difficult. The pads are available as standard in sizes of 125 x 250 mm and 125 x 500 mm. Of course we also manufacture pads in special sizes.

Fine-grained bulk materials such as colouring pigments, manganese dioxide, soot, cement, coal dust, various ceramic powders, powders for the food industry, pesticides and many other materials are very difficult to handle. They have a very large bulk volume, i.e. a very low bulk density, and produce large amounts of dust when transferred. In these cases compaction of powders is aimed at. Such fine-grained bulk materials can be compacted down to 20% of their bulk volume using vacuum compaction rollers made from SIPERM-materials. The highly porous SIPERM-material used for covering the compaction rollers is available in sheet form and can be welded to create larger units and adapted by rolling to the radius of the rollerbody. This can either be done by the customer himself or by Tridelta Siperm GmbH.

independance on density and perticle size Rembe Safety & Control , introduces the newest generation in line flow meter, the C-Lever , for all kind of dry bulk products. An accuracy of < 0.25 % makes the unit on a level of high performance in every kind of industry where dynamic weighing in this range, was not possible before. Applications like wood pellets , sugar , coffebeans , grain , milk powder , granulate , flyash or cement are no problem and can be measured in a range of 50 kg/h up to 600 t/h . The new model is avaliable for high temperature applications and also in ATEX zone 20/21. For FDA/2A certification we`re in the process and we will have it very soon. The technology is based on centripetal forces and this gives a much better and accurate flow control than the Impact Flow Meters on the market. Rembe Safety & Control is producer of flow meters, flow sensors and stainless steel belt scales. Behind this Rembe is also European distributor for APM volume scanners, Bindicator level measurement…

VPFlowMate in-line family VPFlowMate in-line for Nitrogen and technical gases The VPFlowMate in-line series can be used for nitrogen and technical gas consumption monitoring. In many cases, technical gas is only measured at the bottle, using a pressure switch. When the bottle is empty, a new bottle is connected and no one seems to care about the costs involved. VPInstruments now offers a cost effective solution for Nitrogen, Argon, Helium, C02, Oxygen and Welding gas mixtures. The VPFlowMate has a large measurement range and on the display you can directly view the actual flow and total consumption. This makes the VPFlowMate ideal for cost allocation of technical gases. For more information, please contact us.

Rotonivo in high temperatures The Challenge The company Pyroforce was looking for level limit detectors to work in a reactor, which produces gas for power generation. The sensors control the feed of woodchips, which burn up in the reactor. Also the discharge of the ash should be controlled by a limit sensor. The challenges in this application are the high temperature of 600°C and the condensing hydrocarbons like tar. The Solution The feed of the woodchips will be controlled by a UWT paddle switch ROTONIVO® 6000. This full detector is installed on the top of the reactor in an angular position. Is the sensor free of woodchips, the feed screw switches on with a time delay and woodchips are filled in the reactor from a storage silo. If the level gets to the sensor the screw will be stopped. In the upper part of the reactor there are temperatures of about 600°C. The high temperature and the condensing hydrocarbons like tar are the critical elements in this process which influence the function…
