Coarse Screening Equipment: Enhancing Waste Incineration Plant Operations with High-Temperature Vibrating Rod Level Switches
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 operates in extremely challenging environments, where temperatures often exceed 200°C and large quantities of dust are generated during the process.
Traditional static level switches, which rely on mechanical probes, often struggle to perform reliably under such conditions. Dust accumulation or material buildup on the probes caused by moisture can easily lead to false alarms, triggering unnecessary maintenance interventions or even equipment failures.
Moreover, uneven material accumulation in the hoppers or screens can result in overfilling or blockages, which can disrupt the entire operation and cause significant downtime. This not only affects the efficiency of the plant but also places tremendous pressure on the maintenance teams to address these issues promptly, leading to increased operational costs. In such a demanding environment, it is crucial to have a robust and reliable level sensing solution that can withstand these harsh conditions and ensure the continuous operation of the coarse screening equipment without interruption.
Solution: Jiwei High-Temperature Vibrating Rod Level Switch
To address the challenges faced by the waste incineration plant, the decision was made to implement Jiwei Automation’s high-temperature vibrating rod level switches in the coarse screening equipment. This advanced device employs cutting-edge vibration technology, enabling it to perform consistently and reliably even in extreme high-temperature and dusty conditions commonly found in the coarse screening process.
Unlike traditional equipment, which often faces issues with false alarms triggered by material adhesion or dust buildup on the probes, Jiwei’s vibrating rod level switch offers superior performance. It efficiently detects material level fluctuations in coarse screening equipment without being impacted by these common environmental factors, such as dust and moisture.
The robust design of this level switch ensures accurate, continuous monitoring of material levels, preventing unnecessary downtime and minimizing the risk of equipment failure. By integrating this reliable technology into their operations, the plant was able to significantly enhance its operational efficiency, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted processing of waste materials while reducing the risk of costly disruptions in the coarse screening equipment.
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.
