TECHNOLOGY
USING / FUNCTION
The FlowJam detects solid streams of all kinds for By means of appropriate windows of non-metallic
material movement. The FlowJam distinguishes bet- material, the metering thus can be completely decoupled
ween the following switching conditions: from the process. That’s particularly interesting for
the measurement of aggressive, abrasive or bulky
• material flow material or at extreme pressures and temperatures.
The FlowJam can also be applied in difficult application
• material jam/standstill resp. empty pipe
like high temperatures and pressures by means of a
process adapter (see page 4).
The system works contactless by using microwaves,
whereby the material movement is detected by means By using microwaves there is a high insensitivity to
of the Doppler’s principle. built-up on the sensor window.

APPLICATION 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 °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. It’s 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.
TECHNOLOGY
INSTALLATION
The installation of the FlowJam is easily made by the
following ways:

• screwing it into a G 1½-inch-screw neck


• by means of a DN 40 flange
• by means of a pipe clip or an other mounting

Thread mounting

Commissioning
Operating elements for the commissioning are located
in the accessible FlowJam casing. It‘s possible to
adjust both the switch sensibility and the response Mounting with separating flange
delay.
As a consequence there is no need for an extra eva-
luation unit.

Mounting with pipe clamp
