Industry Applications

Process Applications

• Process Improvement

• Provides reliable Flow/No Flow or Relative Flow indication for many process applications such as: • Powder injection

• Pneumatic conveying

• Screw conveyor flow

• Air Slides

• Simple, durable, probe design is superior to conventional mechanical or optical flow detectors

Flow/No FlowIndicates presence of flowing particulate

Example:

• Potash Flow Sensor

• 8” Square Carbide Probe

• Monitors for overflow condition

Air Slide Flow

Provides relative indication of flow rate by monitoring the level of material flowing through slide

Ambient Fugitive Dust Detection

Auburn’s TRIBO.series dust monitors can be used to detect unexpected rises in ambient dust in the work place

Installed at Bakery

• Auburn Venturi Sensor with model 3400

• Customer supplies compressed air and regulator

• Dust flows through the pipe and pass the probe to indicate rise in ambient dust

Auburn Ambient Fugitive Dust Sensor

Silo Penthouses Bulk Packaging Loading/Unloading Dry Mixing/Sifter Rooms Filling/Product Transferring Hazardous Dust Monitoring

Examples of areas we monitor with ambient detection include:

Ring Sensors

• Used on smaller line diameters

• Ring does not interfere with flow

• Examples: Strip casting process, catalyst flow, etc.

Velocity Monitoring

• Using two sensors we accurately measure particle velocity

• Provides reliable velocity measurement in dust laden pipes and ducts (where pitot tubes can’t be used)

• Applications:• Control velocity to minimize product breakage in transport• Used to provide fan control to maintain needed flow rates• Monitor applications where velocity parameter is important
