Materialflussüberwachung in Schlauchleitungen

FlowJam T

FlowJam T ist ein Sensor, der speziell entwickelt wurde für die Durchflussüberwachung von Feststoffen, welche durch Schlauchleitungen gefördert werden.

Der Sensor kann für Schlauchleitungen aus elektrisch nicht leitfähigem Material, wie zum Beispiel Kunststoff oder Gummi, mit Außendurchmessern zwischen 4 und 25 mm eingesetzt werden. Der Sensor wird für die Messung um die Schlauchleitung herum montiert.

The FlowJam T detects all types of solid streams that move through the detection area. The detection is performed regardless of the direction of movement, by the triboelectric discharges of the particles.
The material movement in non-metallic pipelines is displayed at the analogue output as a trend and at the relay output as switching state.
Via the trend output can be displayed, for example, whether more or less material through the tube is conveyed. The material flow can also be observed for uniform distribution. By means of the relay contact an additional information about Flow/NoFlow can be output.

System:

The FlowJam T is a compact device and is connected via an 8-pin plug. For parameterisation of the sensor, a Modbus-USB converter and software could be provide.
