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!
Microwave solids flow detectors can
be used in a variety of applications including feed mills & grain processing,
consumer foods (cereal, sugar, cocoa, coffee), chemicals & pesticides
and more. For example, one company uses Monitor’s Model SFD-2
solids flow detector to verify the flow of feed pellets through their
various transport lines which involves a process where a horizontal
screw auger is conveying pellets over to a vertical gravity chute. The
chute then directs the pellets to a process down below. They have
carefully placed the SFD-2 so that it detects the pellets as they
fall directly across the sensor face. (See Below)
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
plus extremely reliable and rugged to withstand the rigors of the
installation and your process extremes. From automated systems
with pneumatic lines to gravity chutes, solids flow monitors can
help to improve process performance. They can assist in detecting
flow problems, as well as, enhance the level of automation at a
facility like turning a conveyor on or off.
