Distance measurements or position enquiries in waste utilisation/incineration plants
The requirements for metrological tasks, e.g. for distance measurements in potentially explosive application areas, e.g. in waste utilisation/incineration plants, are increasing more and more. Tippkemper-Matrix optoelectronic sensors in explosion-protected metal housings and flameproof encapsulation Ex "d" are available for automated plant loading of chemical or contaminated waste, position detection, e.g. at rotary kilns for wear measurement/travel measurement or in the fermentation of organic waste for distance measurement within fermentation plants (digesters), gas storage tanks (e.g. for calculating the existing gas volume).
