APPLICATION

A well-known food manufacturer in Germany measures the dust value in mg/m³ in its exhaust air upstream of the fan in order to switch it off before a hazardous dust concentration is reached.
The ignitable mixture of its dust is 30 g/m³. By calibrating to mg/m³, the desired switching point to turn off the system can be stored exactly. This way, the customer can be sure that the system is shut down before a hazardous dust concentration is reached.

SOLUTION

The ProSens uses ElectroDynamic technology and through its robust and durable construction, provides a measurement solution to almost any application.

A measurement is therefore possible with duct diameters of up to DN 2000 without any problems.

The stainless steel measuring electrode is optionally available with a Teflon or ceramic coating, so even sticky and abrasive dusts can be measured.

If dust should nevertheless accumulate on the sensor, a rinsing connection is available for cleaning the electrode. The sensor is attached to the duct by means of a TriClamp connector. This makes it easy to pull it out of the duct during the annual inspection and to clean it in a simple way. In addition, the measurement has numerous self-checking functions, which offers the customer the security of a functioning measurement.

In the mentioned application, 20 ProSens systems are already in use now.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

• Early avoidance of hazardous conditions
• Reliable and continuous dust measurement in mg/m³
• Low maintenance
