Everest Automation, in collaboration with ABB, has successfully upgraded the waste management system at a major tissue plant in Ontario by implementing the ABB LLT100 laser level transmitter which significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of waste handling operations at the facility.
Previously, the plant faced frequent issues with ultrasonic transmitters, which produced erratic readings and false echoes, complicating waste management. The materials involved—plastic twine, Styrofoam, plastics, and metals—are byproducts from recycled cardboard bales and need precise handling.
Everest Automation implemented the ABB LLT100 laser level transmitter, renowned for its precise measurements and simplicity, requiring neither echo mapping nor on-site calibration. This trial demonstrated a marked significant improvement in measurement accuracy, allowing for better control of conveyor operations and preventing issues like trailer overfill.
