EVC upgrades with KROHNE

Programmed replacement of oval gear meters with KROHNE flowmeters


European Vinyls Corporation (EVC), Europe's largest PVC polymer manufacturer, has chosen KROHNE as its partner for a programmed upgrade of flowmeters at its emulsion PVC polymer plant at Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire/UK.

KROHNE electromagnetic flowmeters will replace oval gear meters at more than 30 locations around the plant, being used for various duties including batching component parts for the wide range of formulations produced for different customers.

Electromagnetic flowmeters in different diameters and with the option of hazardous area Ex ratings will be kept in stock at the plant to enable immediate substitution for any of the old meters when necessary. Control Electrical Engineer, Ken Hulme, comments: "KROHNE's comprehensive range of electromagnetic meters was able to meet the most demanding needs, and their application engineers have worked with us to develop a product and stock supply solution that mirrors our requirements."
