Applications

Pneumatic Conveyor
A tanker load of bulk solid material is being pneumatically conveyed into a silo. The Sensor
detects the acoustic emissions generated by the particles impacting against the pipe wall and
the output is used to activate the silo dust filter system.
Recommended location is any impact point along the line, such as an elbow.
Screw Conveyor Discharge
A fibrous material is being delivered to a pelletiser by means of a screw feeder. When loss of
flow is detected by the Sensor, an alarm in the control room informs the operator of a
possible blockage.
Recommended location is any point along the under side of chute, where there is friction due
to the flow of material.
