Spotlight: Solids Flow Detection
Flexar Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitterl  
Solids Flow Detection

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)

Solids Flow_Pellet Application

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.
