Measuring. Weighing. Sampling.

What are the characteristics of REMBE Kersting's products?

Rembe has been a family-owned industrial group in Brilon for almost 50 years. In addition to the REMBE Kersting GmbH company with 15 employees, the group includes other companies. In total, about 250 employees work for the group, which also has numerous sales branches worldwide to always be as close to the customer as possible. REMBE Kersting is a specialized provider of products for the bulk material industry. The portfolio includes flow measurement in pipelines and conveyor belts, static weighing of containers and silos, and inline sampling from closed processes.

Our claim is to support users so that they can operate their processes, machines, and devices economically and fully automatically. The portfolio of REMBE Kersting GmbH includes a wide range of systems for handling, measuring, and analyzing bulk materials. Our customers come from various industries, from small laboratories to large chemical companies.

Especially in manufacturing industries, it is important to always know at what performance the plant is running. This ensures reliable process control and the ability to optimize processes. REMBE Kersting contributes to this by always being able to make statements about the current flow with our flow meters. This allows processes to be run stably and problems to be detected early on. It doesn't matter whether the material is on a conveyor belt, falling gravimetrically in a drop tube, or in a pressure conveyor line. It is important to emphasize that, due to the special designs of the systems, gentle and uninterrupted inline measurement is possible.

To have an overview of the stock of raw materials, our customers use our solutions for weighing containers and silos. This always gives them an overview of the current fill level in the warehouses. For this, load cells can be used as standard, which on the one hand have high accuracy, but on the other hand are very complex to install, especially when retrofitting. For years, our customers have therefore been using the MicroCells, a simple but clever solution for determining silo fill levels. These are small strain gauges that are attached to the side of the silo's support structure and can make statements about the fill level in the silo by measuring the forces in the metal. This applies equally to pillar and frame silos.

Our inline samplers
However, our largest area includes our inline samplers. We use these in various areas, but espe-cially in the food industry. Insufficient quality assurance is evident, for example, in the regularly occurring food recalls. The reasons can range from metal or plastic parts in the final product to salmonella contamination. The difficulty lies in the multitude of different materials and the large number of installation options for the samplers.
Our systems range from cup samplers for collecting a sample in a drop tube, screw samplers for conveying material from the ongoing process, sampling from pressure conveyor lines, sam-pling nozzles and probes, to plug samplers, for example, for bagging systems. The places of use are, for example, goods receipt to check the quality of the delivered raw materials, during production, for safe process control, and at goods issue, to draw retention samples with which unjustified customer claims regarding quality can be fended off.
