Moisture monitoring of sugar for quality assurance

By measuring the moisture content of sugar to be added to lollipops, the final product now has a consistent quality. Our customer in the food industry produces sweets, such as lollipops. In the production of lollipops, the taste and aroma of the candy are highly connected to the sugar quantities used in the recipe and applied to the product’s surface as a special final touch. Controlling the amount of sugar applied to the lollipops by ensuring the sugar’s correct moisture content presented a challenge for our customer. When the moisture content is very low, consequently not enough sugar is attached to the lollipops as it is unable to stick. If there is too much moisture in the sugar, it will create lumps and small crystals on the lollipops. Too much or too little sugar leads to a reduction and inconsistency in the final product. Process data: * Customer: Confectionery plant * Material: Refined sugar * Installation: Screw conveyor * Function: Moisture control to meet specification limits Solution: The moisture control was the key point to allow the customer to keep

Contactless material flow detection on conveyor belts

Detect material movement Industrial efficiency is achieved after a chain of small improvements across the plant. Our customer in agriculture industry transports corn cobs via a conveyor belt. He was looking for an easy to install and maintain solution to monitor whether material flows on top of their conveyor belt. With this information more control and automation as well as an exchange of information with the upstream and downstream process is possible. Process data Customer: Agriculture industry Material: Corn cobs Installation: Over the conveyor belt Function: Detect material movement Solution FlowJam is developed to be simple to install, adjust and maintain. It’s the right choice for material flow and material jam monitoring. Any pipe section can be monitored. Contactless material flow detection can be achieved thanks to the Microwave technology. Such installation allows durability and no damages in the sensor. Installed over the conveyor belt, the sensor has no material contact

Online flow measurement of fly ash to control process conditions

Online mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0 Fly ash does have the tendency to create blockages in the cone of the hopper and screw feeder. Our customer was looking for a solution to provide information about the quantity of material flow behind the hopper to control the flow condition. Process data Customer: Cement plant Material: Fly ash Installation: After hopper and screw feeder Function: Online information about the quality of flow condition Solution SolidFlow 2.0 is specially designed for mass flow measurement of solids up to 20 t/h in free fall and in pneumatic applications and has an active roping compensation. This allows measurement errors that occur due to roping to be compensated. In the described application SolidFlow 2.0 is used to measure the quantity of fly ash behind the hopper and screw feeder. The flow measurement will give online information that provides important conclusions about the quality of the material transport. For example, blockages in the silo cone and in the rotary

Continuous mass flow measurement of limestone

Exact measurement of flow rates with SolidFlow 2.0 At a limestone manufacturing site, limestone is mined in a quarry and afterwards ground and transported to a silo. The material is transported into the silo via a pneumatic line. The quantity of limestone was determined on the basis of the theoretical data provided by the plant operator’s employees, however, the objective was to measure the material flow rate continuously. Process data Customer: Limestone manufacturer Material: Limestone Flow rate: Approx. 15 t/h Installation: Pneumatic line Function: Exact measurement of flow rate Solution SolidFlow 2.0 is specially designed for mass flow measurement of solids conveyed in pipes. It continuously measures solids quantities of up to 20 t/h in free fall and in pneumatic applications and has an active roping compensation. This allows measurement errors that occur due to roping to be compensated. In the described application SolidFlow 2.0 is used in the pneumatic transport line. The sensor can be calibrated and transmits

Continuous dust measurement with ProSens

Dust concentration dryer exhaust air In a chemical company, dust is measured in the exhaust air of all dryer lines. Previously, measuring instruments were used for this purpose based on an optical measuring method. The disadvantages of these turbidity measurements are the high purchase price and the continuous maintenance effort to keep the lens dust-free. The company was looking for a maintenance-free, lower purchase price alternative. These two requirements were met with our ProSens system, that works on the basis of electrodynamics. The company is now replacing their existing optical systems step-by-step with ProSens. Process data: Customer: Chemical company Material: Polyamide dust Installation location: Clean gas side in the dryer exhaust air Function: Continuous dust measurement Solution: The ProSens was specially developed to provide a reliable dust measurement on the clean sides after filters. It works on the basis of electrodynamics. Due to its robust and durable construction, it provides a dust
