HYCONTROL Microwave Solids Flow Switch

The Microwave switch provides an effective way of detecting the flow or no-flow of a wide range of particulate materials. The flow switch uses a microwave doppler effect and is non-invasive. During operation the sensing head transmits a continuous low power microwave beam towards the flowing product. Some of these microwaves are reflected back to the sensing head and are then analysed as to wether the product particles are moving or stationary objects.
