Blocked chutes can domino into big problems with damaged equipment, wasted material, stopped production, and even injury.
BinMaster sensors alert operators early when chutes need attention. Relays trigger alerts so operators know there’s a problem
via an indication on a point-level alarm panel or to a control room. Several technologies are available:
• Flow Detect uses a microwave Doppler effect to sense whether material is flowing.
• Capacitance probes detect the presence or absence of material.
• Rotaries and vibrating probes can be installed in y-pipes to sense blockages as well.
