Solids Flow Monitoring for Bulk Material Handling Systems
Know immediately when material stops flowing. Solids flow detectors help prevent plugged chutes, empty lines, process interruptions, and costly downtime in pneumatic and gravity conveying systems.
Why Solids Flow Monitoring Matters
Material flow issues often go unnoticed until they cause shutdowns, wasted product, or equipment damage. Flow detectors provide immediate feedback so operators can respond before a small issue becomes a major problem.
Plugged Chute Detection
Detect blockages before upstream equipment backs up.
Pneumatic Line Monitoring
Confirm material is moving through conveying systems.
Process Protection
Prevent running equipment without material.
Operator Confidence
Know exactly when material flow starts and stops.
SFD-2 Solids Flow Detector
Reliable Flow / No-Flow Detection
The SFD-2 detects the presence or absence of material flow in pneumatic conveying lines, gravity chutes, and other transfer points. It provides a simple and effective way to monitor material movement in real time.
- ✓Detects flow or loss of flow instantly
- ✓Works with powders, pellets, and granular materials
- ✓Compact and easy to install
- ✓Helps prevent downtime and equipment damage
- ✓Integrates with alarms or PLC systems
Best For: Any application where you need confirmation that material is actually moving.
Common Applications
