Low cost FLOW-NO FLOW switch for solids . Relay Output for Flow or No Flow Condition. Detection of moving material only – no influence from deposits or rotating objects >6″ away. Long-term stable, reliable, robust and repeatable. Stainless Steel housing. General Purpose IP67.

The FLOWguard K series are used to monitor solids flow in small hoses and pipelines, such as in pneumatic conveyor systems or free-fall sections from a few g/hr to many t/hr. Malfunctions in conveying systems or process upsets for powder, granules, pellets and other bulk materials are detected at an early stage and thus avoided. This helps prevent equipment failures such as clogged lines, wasted material, idling, or other serious problems.  Ideal for ensuring additive feed lines are running smoothly. The measuring principle is based on the detection of electrical charges, which naturally sit on the particles of the solid flow, for example due to friction on the wall. Dormant solids are not detected. The device cannot be used with products that form an electrically conductive layer on the inner wall due to abrasion or caking.
