Batching tank for coatings

Level
Batching tank for coatings

Overview

The press rolls are cleaned during product changes or shutdowns of the paper machine and then treated with a special coating agent. This protects them from adhesions and deposits that could cause the paper web to tear or split in the machine. The coating agent is mixed with hot water in a batching tank at a temperature of 50 °C, and pumped to various points in the machine. To maintain automatic operation, the level in the batching tank must be measured and the filter status monitored continuously.

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
