The magnetic level indicator is now widely used throughout process industries as an effective level control device. A magnetic level indicator is often used in applications where a sight glass (or glass sight gauge) is either ill-suited based on process variables or is underperforming based on plant requirements. These can include enhanced safety for personnel; environmentally risky situations including media leakage or fugitive emissions; need for maintenance reduction; or need for high visibility from a distance. Typical shortcomings of glass sight gauges include:

FLSmidth has recently selected the VCM-3 field monitor from Brüel & Kjær Vibro (B&K Vibro) as an OEM installation on their cement kilns. This applies to both new customers requesting comprehensive monitoring capabilities, as well as a retrofit on existing kilns. These high quality, high performance kilns can now deliver optimal uptime by utilizing a dedicated vibration condition monitoring solution. Extensive research and development was done in collaboration with the project teams, where FLSmidth provided expertise on the equipment design, operation, maintenance and failure modes, and on their existing monitoring techniques, while B&K Vibro provided their expertise on data acquisition and processing, and optimizing measurement techniques for early and reliable fault detection.

Keeping equipment in good working order is instrumental to maximizing efficiency. There are many ways to keep a machine running well, but one approach stands out from the rest: condition-based maintenance. Condition-based maintenance is a set of techniques that monitor a machine's condition and use the data to develop an appropriate maintenance plan.

You might think that industrial vibration sensors are just another piece of tech. But in fact, they're an incredibly valuable tool for keeping your facility's machinery running smoothly and safely.

Wireless vibration monitoring is an ideal solution for the manufacturing industry. It allows you to monitor the vibration of your machinery and equipment in real-time, allowing you to identify issues before they become problems.

Many industrial conditions require the safe and accurate measurement of the mass flow rate of  gases. If you are wondering, “what is a thermal mass flow meter?” you have come to the right place. In this guide, we explain the working principles, features, applications, and benefits of thermal mass flow meters. 

If you are looking for a flow meter that directly measures the mass flow rate with high accuracy while simultaneously measuring density, temperature, volumetric flow rate, and concentration. You will be looking at the Coriolis Flow Meter. In this guide, we cover the working principles, features, applications, and benefits of coriolis flow meters. 

There are many industrial applications that require long-term installations of reliable and accurate flow meters. If this describes your setting and you are looking to measure the flow rate of liquid, gas, or steam, consider the vortex flow meter. This guide covers the definition, operating principles, features, applications, and benefits of vortex flow meters.
