Continuous, precise and reliable dust quantity measurement (mg/m³)
Dust measurement possible in large channel diameters

Output of dust concentration as absolute value
ATEX-certified

Measurement of dust concentration at high temperatures or harsh environment
Trend signal or absolute value

ProSens is used for:

trend measurement in any dust channel
exact measurements even with large channel diameters
applications in explosion hazard zones (GasEx-Zone 1, DustEx-Zone 20)
the measurement of dust concentration even at high temperatures or/and in harsh environment in various industries such as: Steel, Chemistry, Food, Cement, Minerals, Pharma

Application examples:

Pigment particulate emissions monitoring in a chemical plant in Indonesia

Early recognition of dangerous dust concentration – Measurement of dust content in exhaust air

Avoidance of hazardous dust concentrations through continuous dust measurement

Detection of metal dust in a clear gas site after bag filter

Quantity measurement of filter dust in clear gas pathes

Lime detection

Filter leakage detection in a hazardous area (Ex)

Output: absolute value in mg/m3

For exact measurement even with large channel diameters

Measurement of dust concentration even at high temperatures

The ProSens can be installed in metal channels and pipelines.
The installation should take place away from any curves and other inserts such as flaps and valves.
The distance between the sensor rod and inserts in the channel should be at least 3 times the channel diameter in every flow direction.
Non-metallic channels must be sheathed using a metal sleeve, a metal foil or a close-mesh metal grid over a length of at least 5 times the channel diameter. After determining the installation location, a hole must be drilled in the channel wall to insert the welding casing flush. The casing is now welded into place vertically to the channel. The sensor rod is then inserted in this and fastened with a fixing screw. The length of the sensor rod should at least 1/3 and at most 2/3 of the channel diameter. It can be shortened to the respective optimal length (up to 70 mm) without a problem.
