Flow measurement for partial filling in continuous operation
The robust flow measurement for partly filled pipes in combination with the knife gate valve with powerful low-power drive is characterised by its extremely low electrical energy requirement, which can also be operated with a battery for several days without sun or mains supply. The slide gate valve is controlled directly by the transmitter, which saves components and space.
Permanent connection to the control system ≤ 4G
The measurement and control data is transmitted directly to your process control system via the most common interfaces. The compact system impresses with its compact properties and the harmonised components used. The system is available in a shortened design with guaranteed accuracy, which is ensured by calibration in STEBATEC’s hydraulic laboratory. The maintenance opening makes it easy to clean the system. Factory commissioning, intuitive operation and commissioning instructions ensure efficient installation and commissioning.
Flexible in any operating situation
The LDMdrive is suitable for off-grid operation as well as for UPS operation with a mains connection. Self-sufficient operation is guaranteed by a storage battery and the simultaneous installation of a solar panel. This combination guarantees long operating times without interruption. The corresponding operating times, depending on the size of the LDMdrive, can be found in the tables.
Advantages of the LDMdrive
- Up to nominal width DN250 with 1m², larger up to DN500 with 2m² panel area completely self-sufficient
- One week of self-sufficient operation with storage battery (LxWxH 33x69x22cm); also suitable for mains and UPS operation
- Thanks to the LDM flow measurement, the flow is measured even in dry weather and at the lowest fill levels
- The gate valve control is integrated in the transmitter
- Full control at the control system thanks to permanent connection via 4G mobile network
- Complete data recording integrated in the transmitter and accessible via web interface
- Reports contamination before measurement errors occur
