Self Cleaning Switch for Blocked Chute Protection
Application problem:
A large export coal mine had problems with microwave and admittance probes on blocked chute applications, because of high dielectric magnetite build-up, coal fines build-up etc.
Solution:
Hawk Measurement used the automatic cleaning acoustic Gladiator switch that removed build-up and was not affected by the high dielectric environment. The acoustic switch is a dual transducer system unaffected by vibration, dust, water, high dielectric atmospheres. It comes with UHMW and titanium wear plates.
Applications included wet screens, transfer chutes, crushers, apron feeders etc.
