| Flow / No Flow Detection for Solids
and Powders |
|  The
BinMaster flow detect system consists of two components
– the FDS1000 Remote Sensor Probe which is mounted
in a pneumatic pipeline, gravity chute or feeder –
and the FDC1000 Control Console which is mounted in
an area accessible for users to read the console during
operations. The system promotes continuous and efficient
operations by informing users that solid or powder materials
are flowing and alerts them if the flow status has changed,
power has been lost, or if communication between the
Remote Sensor Probe and the Control Console has been
interrupted.
The FDS 1000 Remote Sensor Probe is a high quality,
industrial grade instrument that senses flow / no-flow
conditions using Doppler technology (microwave) to provide
highly reliable and sensitive motion detection. It works
by transmitting a low energy signal through a Teflon
process seal into the material flow stream. A portion
of the signal is reflected back to the sensor, with
the movement of material causing a frequency shift –
called the Doppler shift – which is used by the
sensor to detect material flow.
Features
---------------
- Reliable Doppler technology
- Can indicate flow/no flow conditions of solids
and powders in pipelines, chutes, and feeders
- Non-intrusive flush mounting senses through non-metallic
surfaces
- Non-contact operation eliminates flow stream interruption
and equipment wear
- Control settings can be made without accessing
the remote sensor probe
- Fail-safe power protection and loop fault monitor
- "Quick Set" selectable, single turn calibration
- Explosion proof design
