Aluminum Sheet and Foil Thickness Measuring Systems with X-Rays
We do serve mostly for the water industry with our magnetic flow meters. There are 195 factories in Dilovası organized industrial zone. All of these 195 factories have a magnetic flowmeter at the exit and a central purification system is used here. The central treatment system was built with a build-operate-transfer model. The organized industrial zone pays the operator of this facility every month for its discharge. In order to collect this price in the fairest way, you need to measure again. We gave a flowmeter to every company here. These flowmeters are read at the beginning of the month and the waste is billed to the enterprise according to the discharge amount read here. They wanted measurement at an open weir for a treatment plant. We can do that too. Weir measurement; When flowing water in a certain section in an open area, the height of this water is an expression of the flow rate. Here, the relationship between level and flow is not linear. We take this even further. We calibrate these weirs with a healthy magnetic flow meter. While calibrating, we write to the memory of our measuring device which flow rate each millimeter corresponds to. Then we get a device that reads accurately. An accuracy of 3 percent is accepted for open weir measurement. We manufacture open weir solutions with accuracy below one percent.
The chemical industry has not yet developed much in Turkey. If there is a growth here, then we have the potential to offer solutions in the chemical industry, but we also have shortcomings here. Big chemical companies are planning their products by manufacturing abroad, concentrating here and diluting them. So we're talking about a small market here. If there are new investments in this regard, then we will also be in the chemical industry. We can also offer hygienic flow meters to filling machine manufacturers. We offer completely stainless steel products with connections and body. A minimum of two years is required for a product to be recognized. Although we have a very large marketing activity, we even started to have difficulties in meeting the incoming demands.
What are your plans for the next period in the process automation sector? Let's take a sector assessment from you for the past year and 2014.
There is very little investment in the sector. Today, not much investment is made for the process automation sector. Even in very simple processes, you have the chance to collect the data on a PLC and control the production from the center with an automation system. After receiving the data, you have the chance to decide and direct the application or production. The important thing here is the correct reading of the field devices. Do you read the level and temperature correctly and did you use a product suitable for this process? The answers to these questions are important. Previously, there was only one manometer on a reactor and we managed the process with this instrument. Now, as automation systems increase and PLC and software become more complex, there is a need for this information to come to a center, namely transmitters. There is also a temperature transmitter produced by Enelsan. We have now applied for CE certification. Our pressure transmitters are like our only magnetic flow meters in Turkey. Process variables are pressure, level, temperature and flow. We can manufacture almost any field device. Today, we also have the knowledge to produce a mass flow meter if it uses a mass flow meter. Maybe 30-40 years ago, the Coriolis principle was used only by certain companies. Today, almost all manufacturers can produce this technology. We have our own design office, which consists of experts in the field. We use CADCAM software and plotter systems in this office. At the moment, we haven't started the manufacture of other instruments, as we haven't seen the potential in the magnetic flowmeter yet. Companies in Turkey should undertake the production of the most needed products. As the representative of a company that does not have a representative in Turkey, it is not possible for us to get anywhere with the logic of responding to the demands of these products. As a state policy, such innovative manufacturing is supported, but many companies still cannot go beyond representation. There is a Machinery Manufacturers Association in Turkey. The machine manufacturer makes laser cutting in Turkey. It brings laser cutting device and coordinate reader from abroad. Here, a sled is being made, and he bends and puts hair on the machine and says he manufactured a machine.
