Chute Blockage Detector

Protocontrol offers chute block switches for different applications. Following are few models.
1. Rf admittance disc probe : suitable for sensing material jamming in a compact chute. Ideal when you want to mount the sensor at the bottom of the hopper. As the disc probe does not come in the path of the material it does not block the passage and hence does not affect the material flow. Ideal for almost every material solid, powder, granule, dry and wet having particle size up to 30 mm
2. Rf admittance rod probe : the probe is to be inserted in the walls of hopper at required level point. When material level rises and touches the probe the contact is actuated.
as the probe is to be inserted in the hopper user has to ensure proper location for minimum abrasion. Provide proper canopy for long use.
3.rf admittance rope probe : the probe is to be hanged from the top in the hopper. The probe length is selected such that the bottom tip reaches at required level point. When material level rises and touches the probe the contact is actuated.
as the probe is to be hanged in the hopper user has to ensure that the falling material flow does not fall directly on the sensor.
4. Tilt probe: the tilt probe is to be hanged from the top in the hopper or supported on the walls of hopper at required locations. When material level rises, makes a cone in the hopper. When the material touches the probe and the probe gets tilted, the contact is actuated. Suitable for almost every material solid, powder, granule but only for dry free flowing solids.
as the probe is to be hanged in the hopper user has to ensure that the falling material flow does not fall directly on the sensor.
to quote proper model pf chute jam device: please inform us
size of hopper, chute ( please send drawing of chute )
mounting location and suitability
material to be sensed and its particle size
confirm the material is with moisture contains or free flowing
supply voltage
the controller is to be located with the sensor or remote type ( to overcome vibration )
ensure that the sensor is protected in hopper
abrasion properties of material ( to prove suitable coating on sensor probe ).
