SITRANS
AS100 is an acoustic sensor used for solids flow detection.
SITRANS AS100 detects changes in high frequency sound waves from
equipment and materials in motion. It detects and reacts instantly to changes
in solids flow to warn of blockages, product absence, or equipment failure such
as burst filter bags. This allows an operator to take early preventative action
and avoid costly damage.
Common applications include pellets, powders and most bulk
solids in pipes, chutes, vibratory feeders, pneumatic conveyors or aerated
gravity flow systems.
Operating with a SITRANS CU02 control unit, the system detects
conditions of high flow, low flow or no flow. It can be added to a control loop
via a 4 to 20 mA output. Two relays are fully programmable and independent of
each other and can be used to operate an alarm or control device.
With no moving parts and a type 304 or 303 stainless steel
enclosure sealed against dust and moisture, this non-invasive unit requires
little or no maintenance. With a dual operating range, the sensor offers an
exceptionally wide range of application capabilities.
Key applications: pipes, chutes, vibratory feeders, aerated
gravity flow systems, burst filter bag detection.
