High-Temperature Vibrating Rod Level Switch Applied in Coarse Screening Equipment at a Waste Incineration Plant
In the waste pre-treatment process at waste incineration plants, coarse screening equipment plays a crucial role in separating large materials from fine combustible waste. However, due to the high temperatures and dusty environment, traditional level detection devices often fail to meet the demands of such harsh conditions, resulting in frequent equipment failures and reduced production efficiency. To address this issue, a waste incineration plant in Singapore decided to implement Jiwei’s high-temperature vibrating rod level switch to solve the challenges of level monitoring in high-temperature and high-dust environments, thus improving the stability of screening equipment.
Problems Encountered with Traditional Material Level Switches: High Temperature and Dust
The coarse screening equipment in waste incineration plants typically operates in environments exceeding 200°C and generates large amounts of dust during operation. Traditional static level switches are prone to false alarms or equipment failures due to dust or material buildup on the probes caused by moisture. Additionally, uneven material accumulation can lead to overfilled hoppers or clogged screens, increasing the risk of equipment downtime and placing significant maintenance pressure on the plant.
Solution: Jiwei High-Temperature Vibrating Rod Level Switch
To address the above issues, the plant chose Jiwei Automation’s high-temperature vibrating rod level switches. This device utilizes advanced vibration principles, allowing it to operate stably in extreme high-temperature and dusty environments. Compared to traditional equipment, the vibrating rod level switch effectively prevents false alarms caused by material adhesion and dust accumulation, while reliably detecting changes in material levels.
In a waste incineration plant in Singapore, Jiwei’s vibrating rod level switches were successfully applied to the coarse screening equipment, operating accurately in high-temperature environments below 400°C. The switches provide real-time monitoring of material levels in the hoppers, with multiple installation points to prevent overflow accidents caused by local material accumulation. Their high sensitivity ensures the efficient operation of the screening equipment, reducing equipment overload or screen clogging due to inaccurate material levels, and further improving screening efficiency.
Results: Improved Efficiency, Prevented Failures
By using Jiwei’s high-temperature vibrating rod level switches, the waste incineration plant significantly reduced equipment failures and downtime while maintaining continuous production. The device is capable of issuing timely alarms, alerting operators to adjust material flow and preventing equipment overloads and blockages. Additionally, its dust-resistant design effectively prevents false alarms caused by dust accumulation, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
Results: Improved Efficiency, Prevented Failures
The successful application of Jiwei’s high-temperature vibrating rod level switches not only solved the material level monitoring challenges in high-temperature, high-humidity, and dusty environments but also improved the operational efficiency of the waste incineration plant’s coarse screening equipment. This, in turn, reduced maintenance costs and enhanced overall production effectiveness. The successful deployment of this technology provides a reliable solution for material level monitoring in similar environments within the waste incineration industry and offers strong technical support for level monitoring in other high-temperature industrial equipment.
Jiwei Automation’s innovative technology is helping more industrial enterprises cope with the challenges of harsh working environments, driving the sustainable development of the industry.
