Nordzucker AG relies on our level measurement technology to monitor filling in production. The MBA700 measuring device is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the production facilities.
Nordzucker in Schladen is one of the leading companies in the sugar industry in Europe. With state-of-the-art technologies and extensive expertise, the company produces high-quality sugar products from sugar beet and sugar cane. Nordzucker is known for its sustainable and efficient production, which takes into account both the highest quality standards and environmentally friendly processes. Through continuous innovation and precise production, Nordzucker ensures a reliable supply of first-class granulated sugar to its customers. Nordzucker relies on high-precision filling level measurement technology from MBA Instruments GmbH, a leading manufacturer in this field, to monitor filling in the production chain. The measurement technology is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the production facilities.
In Nordzucker's production chain, the granulated sugar is conveyed by a belt bucket elevator into a storage container that is specially designed for bagging into big bags. This process takes place in the Service Center, where loading and bagging are coordinated. Precise fill level measurement is essential to ensure a smooth process.
Reliable monitoring in granulated sugar production
MBA's level measurement technology plays a crucial role in preventing overfilling and backlogs. If overfilling occurs, there is a risk of sugar backing up, which can lead to inefficient operation and possible damage to the system. To prevent this scenario, the use of a reliable fill level detector is essential. The detector detects the critical fill level and immediately triggers an alarm, which is reported to the plant operator via the process control system. This allows immediate action to be taken to continue operations safely and efficiently.
Nordzucker relies on the many years of experience of sales manager Jens Kirstein: “With this order, it was immediately clear that the MBA700 was the measuring device of choice. Its use requires special conditions for food applications, but thanks to the special geometry of the vibrating rod, build-up is prevented and error messages are almost completely reduced.
All the advantages in a nutshell:
High precision: MBA measurement technology ensures exact level measurement in silos and containers. This is particularly important to ensure consistent and continuous production and avoid overfilling.
Reliable alarm triggering: MBA sensors are designed to quickly detect critical fill levels and trigger immediate alarm messages. This enables plant operators to take early action before production disruptions or damage occur.
Optimized processes: Precise level measurement and continuous monitoring allow sugar production processes to be optimized. This leads to better control of the production rate and minimizes material losses.
Robustness and durability: MBA's measuring technology is designed for use in demanding production environments. Its robust design ensures a long service life and low maintenance costs, which reduces the total cost of ownership.
Integration into process control systems: MBA's products can be seamlessly integrated into existing process control systems. This enables easy monitoring and control of production systems, which further increases efficiency.
Thanks to MBA's reliable fill level monitoring, production at Nordzucker is not only efficient but also safe, ensuring quality and continuity in sugar production.
