Nu-Con has now officially released the next generation of the Rotor Detection System (RDS2) for Rotary Valves. Nu-Con’s ‘Rotor Detection System’ is already extensively used by both food and infant formula manufactures when rotor scrapping must be immediately detected to prevent the contamination and downgrading of the product.
A rotor may come in contact with a valve housing, if a valve is incorrectly assembled, or if process conditions change and product temperature increase substantially causing expansion within the Valve. When fitted with Nu-Con RDS, a warning signal is sent to the operators via the plant SCADA System, allowing the valve to be automatically shut down, or even prevented from starting up, if a faulty condition exists after reassembly.
