Monitoring of Solids: The SolidFlow

 

In process measurement of flow rates conveyed in metallic ducts.

 

Solids Flow Sensor
Uses:
SolidFlow is  specially developed for measuring the flow rate of solids conveyed in metallic ducts. It has been successfully tested for online measuring of:
  • types of dust, powder and granulates
  • grain size between 1nm and 1cm
  • pneumatically conveyed materials
  • in free fall after mechanical conveying system

SolidFlow is wear-resistant and the commissioning is very easy.

Function:

 

The sensor utilises the latest microwave technology used exclusively in metallic ducts.

 

A measuring field is produced by special linking of the microwave together with the duct. The microwave energy is being scattered by the solids particles and received by the sensor. These signals are evaluated in frequency and amplitude.

 

Applications:

  • Proportioning Systems

  • Secondary Fuel Output

  • Totalising

  • Free Fall Applications

  • Polystyrene Proportioning Systems

  • Granulates Proportioning Systems

Benefits:

  • ATEX Certified

  • Rugged Construction

  • High Temperature Applications

  • Simple Installation

  • Easily Calibrated
