MATERIAL FLOW MONITOR WITH BLOCKAGE DETECTION Material flow monitoring with Flow/No Flow information plus additional “Detection of blockage” or “Material flow interruption” function (Jam/NoJam) The FlowJam Plus is a logical development of the established FlowJam sensor which has proved its worth in thousands of applications: •rapid detection of material movement (Flow/NoFlow) •additional function “Detection of blockage” or “Material flow interruption” FEATURES & BENEFITS - Operates without contact using microwaves - Particularly reliable device since microwaves can pass through material accumulations - Measurement can be taken from outside all non-metallic tank walls, housings, hose lines or pipelines - Can be used even in difficult conditions, in other words high operating temperatures and pressures and in version for Atex zones (with the help of a processadapter) MAIN APPLICATIONS Transfer point Chips of wood are transported by two screw conveyors in a biomass plant. At the transfer point between the screw conveyors, the FlowJam Plus monitors the flow of material. In the case of a material flow interruption, it is now possible to detect quickly whether there is a problem because the lower screw no longer removes any material or the feed screw no longer supplies material. Material infeed to a rotary feeder In a lime plant, lime is conveyed into the inlet of a rotary feeder via a vertical downpipe. At this point, it should be ensured that there is always a sufficient material flow. When the material column reaches the sensor position in the fall line, the FlowJam Plus signals exactly this state.
