Intelligent Junction Box improves process safety One year after the introduction many users appreciate the advantages of ”smart junction box”. After the electrical connection of the load cells the individual load cell signals can be accessed at your fingertips. In case of uneven load deviation, the intelligent junction box helps to correct uneven loading by shimming the footplate of the silo leg. The junction box monitors the function of all cells during operation. Error messages and weight signals are transmitted via the internal CAN- bus to the evaluation and display unit. The critera of the error can be individually adapted by the user. The operator can specify a message for uneven load deviation due to worse foundation. Individually, the user may specify that an alarm is triggered for example at 30% load difference between the legs. To support the fault diagnosis, each alarm can be stored and / or transmitted to the main electronic. After reading out the error (for example cable break load cell 2) the…

Easy mounting on existing product lines Jesma BV introduces the JesCheck Carrousel for weighing and sorting out products This checkerboard is designed with focus on flexibility and optimization of existing product lines. The checkweigher optimizes a given production as weighing and sorting is directly integrated into the product line. The solution is very flexible and can be installed anywhere where cans/tins and similar Products that are moving on a conveyor have to be weighed without interrupting the product flow. The checkweigher operates in a rotating cycle, which is optimal when weighing products with a less stable base. the checkweigher is very suitable for product lines, where products are to be weighed at high speed with very small tolerances. Accuracy, reliability and ease of integration make this checkweigher the ideal weighing solution for product lines where no “traditional” checkweigher can be fitted. Construction: The JesCheck Carrousel is compact and almost maintenance…

Fivefold Increase in Throughput During every grinding process whether wet or dry, fine particles have a tendency to reagglomerate. This tendency increases as the particles become finer. During dry-grinding this formation of agglomerates causes a decrease in throughput capacity and reduces the process efficiency. The classifier in a fluidized bed jet mill cannot discern individual fine particles, but rather recognizes the agglomerate as one large particle which is then reintroduced into the grinding process. In a closed system such as a fluidized bed jet mill, the agglomerates thus remain in the mill, ostensibly to be ground even finer. Prevention of Reagglomeration In particular for the S-JET® process by NETZSCH Trockenmahltechnik, in which steam is used as a grinding medium instead of air to give higher capacities and to open up new ranges of fineness (submicron) for the dry-grinding sector, the stabilization of the finest particles produced is of great importance. This is done by adding suitable…

This system prevents material adhering to pipes, silos and hopper walls This new technology prevents material adhering to pipes, silos and hopper walls. It is especially effective for very fine and dusty products as well as bulk materials with difficult flow characteristics. What is required? • An Ultra-sonic agitator with frequency sweep technology • One or more sound converters with angular wave guide • An optimal sheet metal wall thickness of 2-4 mm Your main benefits include… • No sticking and adhering of dry bulk materials to inner metal surfaces • The ultra-sonic system can be used continuously or intermittently without load and annoying noise • Finally clean pipes and containers • Little space requirements by using small sound converters • No reinforcements of the parts required • No sound protection required • Small power consumption

Many applications – one solution It has often been the case that a single rod probe, using the vibrating principle and having universal design capabilities, is required. This measurement principle has become well-established on the international market. Due to its high compatibility (even with the standard version), it is much favored by plant operators. UWT has responded to the wishes of their customers with a new product series that uses this vibration measurement principle in the form of a single rod probe called Mononivo® MN 4000. The new vibrating rod Mononivo® MN 4000 is now available. The Mononivo® MN 4000 vibrating rod • is a point level detector • that can be used in silos and tanks • as a full, demand or empty detector Electronically stimulated piezos cause the single rod probe to vibrate. When the material covers the sensor, this causes the vibration to stop and a voltage change is caused within the piezo elements. This is electronically registered and causes the output…

Reliable level measurement in bulk solids with measuring devices of the MOLOSwave series MOLOSwave level measurement devices from MOLLET are most suitable for the continuous level measurement in bulk solids. More and more customers worldwide are interested in this combination of reliable measuring signals and a very attractive price-performance-ratio. The MOLOSwave MWF 20 provides high accuracy, high reliability due to four wire technology and independence of product characteristics as well as very good insensitiveness against dust, build up and condensate. It works wear and maintenance free and shows a high tolerance of interfering signals. Devices of the MOLOSwave series enable the level measurement with radar technology based on the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) principle. These measuring devices create high frequency microwave pulses with low energy that are coupled onto the probe and guided along this probe to the bulk goods. The product surface partly reflects these pulses. The electronic detects the reflected pulses and calculates the actual…

Electro Physical Separation Process (ESP) VITA (State in the Latin for life) is used by several turbine suppliers. It also for its (ESP) Electrical Physical Separation Process. Fight varnish successful. Use the Electrical Physical Separation Process (ESP). The VITA realizes you cleaner oil and a varnish-free system. The ESP system removed the varnish that has been collected in the system. Bearings, coolers, valves are again free from varnish so that the condition of the oil is maintained and unplanned downtime is avoided and the reliability of your plant is improving. The Vita Aspen revitalizes your lube and longevity of your equipment. The ESP filter elements are constructed on the basis of the chemical composition of the oil. In addition to the ESP technology ENDURE technology is applied. This removes any degradation properties for phosphate ester fluids such as acids, gels and varnishes.

The introduction of Vegapuls 64 begins a new age in radar measurement technology Vegapuls 64, the world’s first radar level sensor for liquids, operating at a frequency of 80 GHz, has instigated a radical new era in radar level measurement technology. Eighteen months ago a new sensor for the continuous measurement of bulk solids, Vegapuls 69, was introduced with great success. This sensor also operates with a transmission frequency 3 times higher than the widely used 26 GHz frequency. ”The market has shown that this technology is the thing of the future – since the market launch, over 10,000 Vegapuls 69 level sensors have already been installed,” says Jürgen Skowaisa, product manager of radar instrumentation at VEGA Grieshaber KG, describing the success story of these increased frequency sensors. These instruments have proven their worth, especially on media with poor reflective properties, in production shafts up to 120 m deep, or in silos with numerous internal installations that generate strong false echoes. Vegapuls 64 for liquid…
