Challenge As the plant runs around the clock, and some of the time without any human presence, faults sometimes remain undetected for hours. Although the plant runs at a very slow speed, in the event of a failure it can lead to a total breakdown. This total breakdown of the energy supply system leads to significantly higher costs than a standstill for several hours, where the system can be put back into operation after a short maintenance period. The solution with smart plastics In this case the solution is the push/pull forcemonitoring system EC.P. This sensor continuously measures the force which the plant requires tomove the energy supply system. If these forces change due to external influences such as ice, an animal or a tool forgotten during maintenance, the sensor detects this change and switches the systemo ff immediately. This prevents expensive total damage to the sewage treatment plant. EC.P - push/pull force detection for e-chains ® ● Measures the push/pull forces acting on the e-chain ® ● Recommends shutdown of the equipment if a force limit is exceeded ● Prevents failure Stop!
