FlowJam Plus

Material flow monitor with blockage detection

Material flow monitoring with Flow/No Flow information plus additional “Detection of blockage” or “Material flow interruption” function (Jam/NoJam). The FlowJam Plus is a logical development of the established FlowJam sensor which has proved its worth in thousands of applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Operates without contact using microwaves
  • Particularly reliable device since microwaves can pass through material accumulations
  • Measurement can be taken from outside all non-metallic tank walls, housings, hose lines or pipelines
  • Can be used even in difficult conditions, in other words high operating temperatures and pressures and in version for Atex zones (with the help of a processadapter)
  • For freefall pipeline or a pneumatic transport system
  • Operates without contact using microwaves
  • Measurement can be taken from outside all non-metallic tank walls, housings, hose lines, or pipelines
  • Can be used even in difficult conditions, including:
    • High operating temperatures and pressures
    • Version for Atex zones (with the help of a process adapter)

MAIN APPLICATIONS

Transfer point
Chips of wood are transported by two screw conveyors in a biomass plant. At the transfer point between the screw conveyors, the FlowJam Plus monitors the flow of material. In the case of a material flow interruption, it is now possible to detect quickly whether there is a problem because the lower screw no longer removes any material or the feed screw no longer supplies material.
Material infeed to a rotary feeder
In a lime plant, lime is conveyed into the inlet of a rotary feeder via a vertical downpipe. At this point, it should be ensured that there is always a sufficient material flow. When the material column reaches the sensor position in the fall line, the FlowJam Plus signals exactly this state. With this information, the material feed can be controlled better.
