The FlowSwitch FS 510 is a microwave-based flow monitor for bulk solids.
The FS 510 monitors the flow of solids. It detects disturbances in the transport of powders, dusts, pellets or granulates at an early stage. This helps to clear clogged pipelines, loss of material or other problems with the conveying system in time.
The FS 510 a microwave sensor whose measurement result is not influenced by dust, steam or material deposits. It works contactless, wear- and maintenance-free. The FS 510 can be installed in pipelines, on conveyor belts, on drop plates, on chutes, behind screws or in similar conveying equipment. It detects insufficient or missing material, blockage or standstill - and from several meters away. Numerous parameters, such as sensitivity, damping, filter time and hysteresis are adjustable.
The FS 510 is known as the most robust flow monitor in its class. It is constructed of high quality stainless steel and is optimized for long life. High ATEX ratings and high pressure adapters allow for use in the harshest environments.
