Unique Vibrating Level Sensor
Ideal For Dust collection Systems
Elburn,
IL –Dust collection systems are
used for collecting a variety of materials in dust
form. Many of these materials can be very
light in weight, but the range of bulk density
and dielectric constants range widely. This
can be challenging for most level sensor technologies,
but not for the unique Model PZP vibrating sensor
from Monitor Technologies. Monitor is pleased
to announce that its Model PZP vibrating point
level sensor is capable of detecting bulk solid
materials with a density as light as 1.0 to 1.5
pcf (pounds per cubic foot) all the way up to 100
pcf. In addition, the PZP does not require
calibration and uses a unique diamond shape single
element that is immune to material packing and
bridging, unlike traditional tuning forks.
The Model PZP vibrating point level sensor uses dual piezoquartz crystals. These
crystals respond to electrical excitation by vibrating, which results in the
vibration of the sensing element at about 280Hz. The uniqueness of the
PZP's diamond shape sensing element and electronics provides the sensitivity
to detect very lightweight materials, in addition to heavier materials. This
ultra-lightweight sensing capability down to as light as 1.0 - 1.5 pcf make this
level sensor ideal for dust collection applications.

Why Use Solids Flow Monitors?
Assist in detecting problems & increasing automation
From complex automated systems with pneumatic lines
to straight-forward gravity chutes, solids flow monitors can help
to improve process performance. They are effective in detecting flow
problems, as well as enhancing the level of automation at a facility.
Solids flow monitors can assist in detecting problems in flow caused
by equipment failures, plugged lines, leaks, material bridges upstream,
low or no material, etc. They can also be used to add automation
to a process like opening or closing valves, turning a conveyor on
or off, and initiating a process function (spraying of a product
additive).
The Model SFI and SFD-2 line of solids flow detectors from Monitor
Technologies, LLC 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.
Since there are no moving parts, these monitors can provide dependable,
low-maintenance service for many years.
Solids flow detectors like the Model SFI and SFD-2 can be used
in applications for a
variety of industries including construction materials (cement, sand,
gypsum, etc.), wood chips / sawdust, feed mills & grain processing,
consumer foods (cereal, coffee, sugar, cocoa, powdered milk, barley),
plastics, chemicals & pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and more.
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 company 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.
Whether a solids flow monitor is used to detect problems, increase
automation or both,
the end result is a substantial long term cost
savings through: eliminating product waste,
cutting “downtime”, reducing employee time spent on watching
the processes or cleaning up spills/messes, increasing product quality
(reducing defective product), and decreasing maintenance time / replacement
costs on other methods of flow detection.
