The Model SFI and SFD-2 line of solids flow detectors
provide analog or relay outputs to indicate the flow
/ no-flow condition of powder and bulk solids materials
in chutes and pneumatic conveying lines. Using
microwave Doppler radar technology these units are
non-invasive and extremely reliable and rugged to withstand
the rigors of the installation and your process extremes.
Solids Flow Monitors like the Model SFI and SFD-2 can be used in a wide variety
of applications. One customer uses the analog signal from a Model SFI unit
to monitor the flow of carbon black in toner cartridge manufacturing to ensure
positive flow before further processing and to detect no-flow and possible plugged
conditions. Another uses the Model SFD-2 solids flow detector to monitor
the flow of coal into the burner of a coal-fired power plant to detect no-flow
conditions and ensure safety. These two applications illustrate the potential
for use in improving your process efficiency and maintaining process safety.
The Model SFI and SFD-2 solids flow monitors are brought to you by Monitor Technologies
LLC. Monitor Technologies has pioneered level measurement for powders and
bulk solids for five decades. The experience and market knowledge gained has
earned Monitor a reputation for providing high quality and reliable product solutions. Monitor

solutions to work for you!
The
SafePoint rotary paddle level switch with a self-validating design
detects material presence plus continuously monitors its own ability
to function. The analysis includes sensor health and system power
failure, which makes the SafePoint truly “fail-safe”.
The SafePoint incorporates patented use of Hall-Effect technology,
dual outputs to indicate both material presence and unit health,
and microcontroller technology to continuously protect bulk solids
processing and storage from the consequences of unknown sensor
failure by providing immediate indication of a sensor failure
and confirmation of proper operation.
Other practical features of the SafePoint include rugged construction,
motor shut-off when paddle becomes impeded to maximize motor life, twist On/Off
cover for bolt free removal, and local status indicating light (except hazardous
location models)
A practical application for the SafePoint would be to use this "true"
fail-safe product if undetected sensor failure could result in a
catastrophic process problem.
