Plugged Chute Detectors

HF capacitance technology has been applied to the 9830-PCD plugged chute detectors. The flush mount sensor continuously monitors the change from a normal material chute condition to a plugged condition.

• Capacitance technology responds to any material type
• No moving parts
• Remote alarm unit mounts safely away from pipe
• No intrusion into chute or hopper

The 9830-PCD sensor monitors the capacitance field in front of the sensor plate. The sensing plate forms part of the chute or hopper wall to sense the product within. The increased presence of product in front of the sensor due to a plugging condition increases the capacitance field and initiates an alarm.
The sensing plates are embedded into a polyethylene plate, which provides monitoring without any intrusion into the product flow.
