Elburn,
IL – Dust collectors (baghouses)
do not always operate at optimal efficiency. Filter
material degrades, bags begin to tear and sometimes
they fail catastrophically. To avoid dust emissions
that exceed regional and federal EPA mandates,
and to assist with preventative maintenance, many
industries and manufacturers have used the DustAlarm® broken
bag detector from Monitor Technologies LLC.
This
state-of-the-art instrument uses triboelectric
detection techniques to continuously monitor the
emissions within the exhaust dust of your baghouse.
The DustAlarm can help reduce maintenance costs,
can keep clean-up costs to a minimum and help ensure
you are complying with EPA regulations and mandates.
Today’s DustAlarm broken bag detector includes
features such as:
•
Proven triboelectric technology.
Protect blowers from damage and replace filters
timely.
•
High voltage AC (115/230VAC) and low voltage
power supply (10-32VDC) available.
•
Adjustable sensitivity, alarm setpoint and time
delay.
•
Integral electronics assembly or remote electronics
option available.
•
Quick-disconnect mounting is standard for easy
cleaning.
•
316 stainless steel probe with specially designed
insulator.
•
Handles up to 450∞ F (232∞ C)
process temperatures with remote electronics
option.

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.
