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.
