A North American cement plant was using
nuclear technology to measure the
flow of CKD from the process vessel
into the hot kiln. This nuclear device
had become unreliable and ultimately
failed.
The company consulted Siemens to
find a replacement technology.
Siemens recommended the SITRANS WF330 solids flowmeter because it is reliable, offers two percent accuracy, and has a simple design.
The installation of the SITRANS WF330 enabled the cement plant to forego nuclear approvals, and they can now rely on a repeatable, simple device that provides a
consistent signal to indicate the
amount of CKD reintroduced into the
kiln.
