Compact sensor for Broken Bag Detection

Dusty C

Continuously monitors particulate flow for signs of filter damage or broken filter bags. Compact and cost effective

The Dusty C has been specially developed to monitor clean sides after filters with high reliability and without time delay for filter breaks.
It can be used in metallic ducts in which dust particles will be detected in the gas flow. Its area of application begins at dust levels of 0.1 mg/m3.

Dusty C can be used in Ex zones (Dust zone 22 /Gas zone 2)

  • Detects all dust types
  • Can be used in all purge gas and dust ducts
  • Immediate detection of filter damages
  • Simple commissioning (Plug & Play)
  • Prevention of process-induced dust Ex zones
  • Individual choice of alarm level
  • Rapid and easy retrofitting
  • 4 … 20 mA output at sensor
