Bulk flow detection solids FLOWJAM
FlowJam - Material flow monitoring Microwave detector for contactless monitoring of material flows for "flow" or "no flow" Absolutely insensitive against material deposits For any line diameter With adapter, usable up to 220 属C and 20 bar With ceramic mounting, usable up to 1,000 属C Compact (no separate electronics) Signalling through relay switching Different sensitivity levels Detection through all non-conductive walls Can also be supplied with short housing and separate electronics Detection of material clogging and material standstill The FlowJam detects solid flows of all types for material movement. A differentiation is made between the following switching states: - Material flow - Material clogging / standstill or empty pipe The system operates with no contact, using microwaves in a process in which the material movement is detected by using the Doppler effect. The FlowJam is an especially process-secure device, since the microwave can penetrate material coating on the sensor and reliably detect the material movement behind it. If container walls, housings or pipelines are not metal, it is possible to measure from the outside. The FlowJam can also be used under difficult conditions such as high operating temperatures and pressures with the help of a process adapter. The FlowJam can be easily installed in the following ways: Figure 1: Screwing into a G 1遜"-inch-threaded connection Figure 2: Using a DN 40 flange Figure 3: Using a pipe clamp or other holding brackets

- 2. 2 The FlowJam is definitely a very reliable device because the use of its microwaves guarantees a penetration of material build-up on the sensor, and therewith a proof detection of material flow behind it. Hence its also possible to detect through non-metallic box walls, casings or conduits. Even at difficult conditions like high process temperatures or pressures the FlowJam can be used by means of a process-adapter (see page 4). Using/Function The FlowJam detects all kinds of bulk solid flows with regard to material movement. The FlowJam distinguishes between the following switching conditions material flow material jam/standstill resp. empty pipe The system works contactless by using microwaves, whereby the material movement is detected by means of the Dopplers principle. Applications practical examples Monitoring of raw meal cyclones in cement plants The FlowJam monitors the cyclone through special ceramic fittings, used for high temperature isolation, in order to prevent jams inside the cyclone. Temperature inside the cyclone: 600 属C Mass flow rate: approx. 50 t/h Monitoring of screw-conveyors in gypsum plants The FlowJam is installed in the discharge part of the screw to monitor the continuity of the material flow. As soon as the material flow gets interrupted, the FlowJam signals it by switching the relays, so that the operator can react appropriately. Monitoring of coal injection in steel plants Coal as fuel is injected via several lances in the blast furnace. Its very important for a constant quality of the burning process that the even fuel distribution around the blast furnace is guaranteed. It is for this reason that every lance is monitored by the FlowJam, so that every jam can be detected instantly, by which the process can be stopped automatically and the concerned lances freed by injecting of nitrogen.
- 3. 3 Technical data Mounting with separating flange Mounting with pipe clamp Thread mounting A B Installation The installation of the FlowJam is easily made by the following ways screwing it into a G 1遜-inch-srew neck by means of a DN 40 flange by means of a pipe clip or an other mounting Commissioning Operating elements for the commissioning are located in the accessible FlowJam casing. Its possible to adjust both the switch sensibility and the response delay. As a consequence there is no need for an extra evaluation unit.
