Point Level Switch for Plugged Chute Detection
Eliminate Costly Plugged Chutes
with Drexelbrook Sensors!
Downtime is expensive and so is the
clean up of process spills.
Reliable detection of plugged chutes will keep your
plant running smoothly and virtually eliminate spills
that occur because of plugged conditions.

Drexelbrook’s Flush-Mounted Sensors
reliably detect presence or absence of material
flowing through chutes. If process material stops
flowing due to a plugged condition, the system will
alarm, allowing further action to occur (alerting an
operator, shutting down a conveyor belt, etc.). This

it happens.

Rugged sensor design
makes these systems ideal for coal (pulverizer and
transfer chutes), wood chips, ores, powders, etc.
Since they are flush mounted through a chute wall,

Economical Without Sacrifice

Dust coating and/or wall build up will not
affect the measurement.

Drexelbrooks Cote-Shield circuitry “Sees” through
any coating condition and eliminates false plugged
chute signals.

Curved and flat sensors are available.
Chutes vary in size and shape. We have a sensor
design to fit your chute.
