Manufacturing & OEM

From our beginnings, we were pioneers of engineer-to-engineer support, and it’s a tradition that continues today. Our engineers challenge the boundaries of how to measure and control critical processes. Moreover, how to protect critical loads from power problems That is why so many OEMs come to us for help building just the right product/solutions for their applications. Whether for boilers, compressors, oil and gas equipment, medical devices, or any other product, we do it all. We also keep product in stock for just-in-time customer delivery. Food and beverage firms encounter market hurdles on a regular basis owing to rising demand for new goods. Meeting this requirement must be weighed against sustaining core product profitability. This causes operational issues and can limit production. Through a variety of innovative solutions, MGEC can help you overcome this challenge. For sugar production, this intern leads to time savings and increased output with benefits from our solutions (for example, Complete range of pressure, temperature, flow, and level, Inbuilt cleaning system reduces downtime, Consistent quality of final product). There are various types of paper machine gauges available on the market, each serving a specific function within the paper production process. A basic weight gauge, for example, measures the weight of the paper per unit area, whereas a caliper gauge measures the thickness of the paper. Additionally, to the above-mentioned industries, our products and solutions are used in many industries like Cement, Packaging, Automotive, Mining, Minerals, Metals, Steel, Cosmetics and more.

Multi-Function Multi-Range Timer

The Multi-Function Multi-Range Timer is a micro-processor-based timer with a 4-1/2-digit LCD display that can provide an indication of either preset time remaining or elapsed. There are five timing ranges covering time values from one millisecond to 199 hours 59 minutes. The unit has both an instantaneous relay output and a programmable relay output which can be programmed for any one of 14 different timing modes. The timing range and mode are selected with an internal DIP switch. The time value is entered using the keypad on the front face. The programmed values are retained in memory and are secured in memory by a keypad lockout command. The keypad can also be used to perform secondary functions such as reset, immediate time out, time inhibit, changing the direction of the display, displaying the number of cycles run, and clearing the cycle counter.

Multi-Function Multi-Range Solid State Timer

The micro-processor-based control can function as either a timer or a counter. It has a 4-1/2-digit LCD that can provide an indication of either the time or count value remaining or elapsed. There are five timing ranges covering time values from one millisecond to 199 hours 59 minutes. There are also three count speeds to a maximum of 7500 counts per second. The unit has an instantaneous relay output and a programmable relay output which can be programmed for any one of 14 different timing modes. The timing range, count speed and timing mode are programmed with an internal DIP switch assembly. An external switch determines whether the time inhibit, or count input takes place with application or removal of voltage.

Differential pressure measurement 

Differential pressure systems in evaporators are often damaged because of harsh production environments and cleaning processes. A diaphragm seal, with extended diaphragm and direct diaphragm cleaning system, will alleviate this problem; examples of instrument configurations are shown below. The transmitter with a direct diaphragm seal (connected to the positive measurement chamber) and a remote diaphragm seal (connected to the negative chamber) is recommended for hydrostatic measurements of levels, densities, phase boundaries, and pressure differences (with differentiated height of pulse source points). In such a configuration, at ambient temperature changes, two opposite phenomena appear concurrently. Thermal expansion causes the change in the volume, and hence density, of the manometric fluid in the capillary, resulting in a change of the hydrostatic pressure related to the vertical spacing of the seals. This phenomenon is counteracted by the elastic reaction of the diaphragm of the upper diaphragm seal, which is displaced by the change in volume of manometric fluid. Based on tests and experiments, the transmitters come with carefully selected diaphragm seals, guaranteeing compensation of errors resulting from ambient temperature changes.

Our special design of extended diaphragm seals come with an additional diaphragm cleaning system. Transmitters with diaphragm seals provide accurate and reliable performance for the measurement of highly viscous mediums, typical of sugar production. A cleaning system allows membrane cleaning without having to remove the diaphragm seal from the application. A cleaning medium (e.g. water) is supplied to the membrane surface via two flushing ports located externally to the diaphragm seal for easy access. The adjacent figure shows the application of such a design.

Temperature measurement and control

Temperature is of particular importance to improving the sucrose extraction process, for which imbibition water is applied. This process consists of adding water to the pulp before it passes through the final mill, increasing sucrose extraction by approximately 15%. Higher the imbibition temperature, higher the extraction rate. Specific models of temperature transmitters are used in various applications across the industrial sectors. These models come with a field mounting head and Hart communication protocol. Large variety of direct and remote sensing options, materials, and process connections, providing a high level of flexibility, and making them suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Level and density measurement

Within the clarifiers used for cane sugar production, a measurement of the density of undissolved solids will help operators to assess the performance. The controller and ultrasonic gap sensor will give a continuous measurement of the liquid density in terms of percentage of undissolved solids, helping operators make decisions about what process parameter should be checked and adjusted. Sensors are available for either tank mount or fitted within pipe sections for easy installation within pumped pipework.

Another solution could also have applications in factory syrup and refinery liquor clarifiers, where in some cases instrumentation is used to monitor flocculant formation at the outlet of the clarifier weir-box. Rather than directly controlling any process variables, the density measurement may be used to recirculate syrup or liquor if flocculant formation goes too high, indicating a problem in the process.

For bulk silos holding beet or cane, and those storing the end sugar product, dry solids level switches provide a means of inventory control. The vibrating level switch (VLS) and paddle level switch (PLS) positioned at appropriate points within a silo will give high or low-level indications.

During internal transport within the plant, prior to mixing into a juice, the same switches can also be used on hoppers to detect product and warn of any blockages.

For water/storage tank applications the mechanical float switch can be used for either high or low-level alarm or pump control duties. These instruments, with their tough, rugged, and proven design, are suitable for use in most environments and trusted globally for their long-term reliability. The magnetically coupled design means there are no glands or linkages, preventing the risk of leaks. Our snap-acting switch produces a clean make-or-break contact with no hover or bounce and, with a high resistance to vibration, false trips are eliminated.

Steam Generation

Hydrastep is often used as a remote level indicator for the boiler steam drum level measurement.

Using conductivity probe technology, Hydrastep can interface with a DCS to provide level measurement and alarms and offers a separate remote display for the boiler house CCR.  A typical system as used on the steam drum is shown in the adjacent image. Hydratect provides a means of detecting any water in steam lines to protect against turbine damage.
