Sitrans AS 100 is a high frequency acoustic sensor for continuous solids flow detection.
It detects changes in high frequency, structure borne, sound waves from equipment and materials in motion.
It reacts instantly to changes in solids flow to warn of blockages, product absence, or equipment failure such as burst filter bags.
The 0-10 V DC analogue output works with the Sitrans CU 02 controller or the customer PLC to alert to conditions of high flow, low flow, or no flow.
Changes in flow are immediately detected enabling operators to take early preventative action and avoid costly damage or unscheduled downtime.
Easily mounted on the outside of chutes, pipes, and fan housings, Sitrans AS 100 is ideal for production monitoring of fine powders to large granulars in hazardous or hygienic environments.
Common applications also include pneumatic conveyors or aerated gravity flow systems.
With no moving parts and a stainless steel housing sealed against dust and moisture, this non-invasive unit requires little or no maintenance.
Operators can maintain system efficiency because the Sitrans AS 100 provides them with constant data.
Sitrans AS 100 is a cost-effective and reliable solution for process protection.
