Diesel is the lifeblood of your worksite, what are the consequences of running out of fuel and your production shutting down? In this blog post, we discuss how to keep track of your onsite fuel accurately to avoid this happening to you. The Pulsar Measurement IMP range of ultrasonic level sensors is the ideal non-contact method for the measurement of diesel tank levels. ADM carries a range of ultrasonic level sensors in stock, so we are likely to have a solution suitable to your application and delivered to your site quickly. Why Ultrasonic Level Measurement? In many cases, a hydrostatic level

Pulsar Measurement's Ultrasonic Doppler Flowmeters are a perfect quick and non-invasive solution for measuring the flow of dirty water and other media-rich liquids transported via pipeline, such as mining slurries and dewatering worksites. The Doppler flowmeter range includes portable and fixed devices, which can be quickly deployed in the field, allowing site engineers and technicians to begin collecting flow measurements quickly and reliably. Key Takeaways for the Pulsar PDFM Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meters rely on producing sound and capturing the reflection from the media. The Pulsar PDFM

Producing chocolate involves several process stages, in which the chocolate must be maintained in a liquid state up until the final stage, when the chocolate is ‘tempered’ into a solid state.Conching and tempering are two important phases, and the quality of the final product depends on precisely controlling these two processes. Conching Conching is a process where a surface scraping mixer and agitator, known as a conche, evenly distributes cocoa butter within the chocolate. It also promotes flavor development through frictional heat, release of volatiles and acids, and oxidation. A chocolate

ADM stocks the TSA-105PST series of digital pressure gauges.These multifunctional digital pressure gauges give a localised read out of the pressure reading via a 4-digit display, and can transmit the output reading to a remote display or PLC. There are 4 x relay output setpoint alarms The industry standard 4-20mA output makes these digital pressure gauges highly compatible with the most used PLCs and remote displays. Do not forget that ADM also stocks a range of process indicators and controllers. Configuration is made simple by membrane keys on the front of the gauge. It should be noted that

ADM stocks the Laumas TLB4ETHEIP load cell transmitter.This load cell transmitter is suitable for Industrial applications and is DIN rail mountable. It allows installers to connect the output of a load cell directly into an Allen Bradley PLC. This is achieved through the built-in RJ45 port. There is an onboard 6-digit LED display which can give a local read out of the measured value in either kg's, grams, or pounds A series of LEDs on the front panel provide various diagnostics There are 2 digital inputs for zero, net, or gross weights, and 3 relay outputs for setpoints, alarm, or fault

This blog post discusses the factors that need to be considered when selecting a pressure sensor for use in hydraulic systems. Hydraulic cylinders are ubiquitous in industrial and mobile applications. For example mining, petrochemical, marine, automotive, construction, defence and aerospace. They are useful in generating extremely high forces to move parts or levers of a machine by means of hydraulic oil under high pressure driving a piston and rod. The ancient Egyptians would certainly have benefited from them building the pyramids, saving enormously on manpower. To measure the force applied

This blog post discusses the alternative Eurotherm software package that is available, now that Eurotherm has discontinued Review. Eurotherm’s Review software is now at Level 3 obsolescence. This means it is no longer available for sale. The alternative is Eurotherm Data Reviewer, which in the entry level foundation version is virtually equivalent to the full version of the obsolete Review package. ADM recommends that any customers still using Eurotherm Review should take steps to migrate to Eurotherm Data Reviewer. Eurotherm Data Reviewer is a software application designed for viewing

Compound Pressure Transmitters are pressure sensors that can measure within a range that includes both positive pressure and negative vacuum (+/-).ADM Stocks the following Compound Pressure Transmitter ranges in Australia. These have a 4-20mA output and1/4" BSP connection. GS4200-00V0AB. Range: -1 to 0 bar (4mA=-1bar) GS4200-00V1.5AB. Range: -1 to +1.5bar GS4200-00V2.5AB. Range: -1 to +2.5bar GS4200-00V6AB. Range: -1 to +6barg GS4200-00V9AB. Range: -1 to +9barg The following models are also available from the factory, usually within 6 weeks. GS4200-00V1AB Range: -1 to +1bar GS4200-00V3AB Range

This blog post discusses how pressure switches, digital pressure gauges, and pressure transmitters are used to control pumps in industrial applications.Pipeline pressure is often controlled by a simple water pressure management system. There are many basic all-in-one pump controllers that make for a quite easy installation. However, there is a limit to the size system that these can support, typically around 1.5kW pump motor, so they are not always suitable for industrial applications. A water pump control system built as a modular system is the preferred approach in industrial applications

The blog post talks about the advantages of capacitive level measurement sensors, for the continuous measuring of liquid levels, as well as powders, bulk solids, and pastes.These transmitters are often used in applications where traditional methods fail, as they have the following advantages No moving parts –thus are exceptionally durable Not affected by turbulence or foaming Suitable for high density liquids such as oil ADM can supply a range of capacitive liquid level sensors that were designed for F1 racing cars, built from quality aluminum with sealed electronics. They are available with a
