Elburn,
IL - While
providing the same reliability and sensitivity, Monitor
Technologies’ new DustAlarm® Broken
Bag Detector is an enhancement over the previous design.
Continuing to utilize the same proven triboelectric technology
the DustAlarm supplies
reliable and economical detection of filter failures
in exhaust ducts of baghouses, cartridge collectors,
and other types of dust collection equipment.
Some
of the new features of the DustAlarm are
an adjustable alarm level, two conduit entrances with
cable glands, a quick-disconnect mounting and a low
VDC power supply option. The DustAlarm incorporates
a rugged design with a NEMA 4 housing, screw-on/off
cover for easier access, and LEDs to simplify installation
and setup.
As
with all Monitor’s products, the DustAlarm is
competitively priced and backed by an industry-leading
two-year warranty. In addition, special options are
available for high temperature applications such as
a high temperature insulator and split-architecture
configuration with remote probe/electronics.
Elburn,
IL - The Monitor rectangular
air pad is used to promote the flow of dry bulk powders
in a storage vessel. By continuously introducing air into
the body of a dry powder, the air pad is able to maintain
the fluid like characteristic of aerated powder.
The
Rectangular-style air pad features an effective radius of 10
inches and is available at a low cost. Other features include
easy installation and minimal maintenance. The air pad also
has the ability to adapt to almost any bin configuration.
An
external mounting kit is available. This kit can completely
eliminate the need to enter the bin to install or service air
pad bin aerators. Monitor's air pad and external mounting kit
can easily install in existing cutouts of other brands.
Monitor's
air pad is designed for many dry powder applications including
cement, resins, and carbon black.
The TrueCap® Model MK-2
RF Capacitance point level probe is designed to provide a superior
and stable sensitivity threshold making it suitable for a variety
of powder / bulk solids and some liquid or slurry applications.
Advanced features of the Model MK-2 include: > Automatic immunity to material build-up on
the probe by its driven shield design > Push-button calibration > Enhanced temperature compensation > Maximized reliability via smart sensing algorithms
like “self-validating” fail-safe protection > Visible status LED on ordinary location units > Versatility through a variety of configuration
options including: hazardous location version, split architecture
design, quick-connect process connection, stub probe, cable extensions,
solid extensions, Nylon® probes, Ryton® - equiv. probes,
etc.
A practical application for the TrueCap would be to use this level sensor where
a residual material build-up on a different sensor would cause a false material
level indication.
Principle of Operation for the TrueCap RF Capacitance Level
Probe:
The vessel wall and the active probe element establish an impedance reference
between each other when exposed to air which has a dielectric constant of 1.
When materials with a dielectric constant greater than 1 are in close proximity
to the probe, the impedance of the sensing field between the sensor and the vessel
wall will change. Once the amount of change exceeds a threshold that was electronically
determined during the calibration process, an output relay will either be energized
or de-energized depending upon the position of the fail-safe selector on the
probe’s electronic circuit board. A change of as little as .5 pico-farad
is all that is necessary for the probe to sense the presence of material.
