Flow Detect 2000, Compact Solids Flow Detector

8 Oct 2024  |
The FD-2000 is a compact solids flow detector that alerts to flow or no flow conditions down to a tiny trickle of solid material.

This reliable flow and no-flow detector uses low-power microwave Doppler technology so nothing contacts or interferes with the material flow stream.

You can use the FD-2000 flow detection switch:

  • to prevent downtime caused by material blockages or conveyors running empty
  • alert to loose or open slide gates causing material loss or cross-contamination
  • as a preventive control for FSMA, USDA, or FDA compliance
  • to ensure flow of grains, granules, pellets, meals, and powdered materials
  • be sure there is no flow through a distributor before switching bins
  • and improve batch control by ensuring flow completely stops when it should

This sensor is installed in distributors, gravity chutes, feeders, pipelines, conveyor belts, or bucket elevators through a 1-1/4” NPS process connection and has a range of up to 5 feet.

This five-pound unit has all its components built into one NEMA 4X aluminum housing. The single-piece design eliminates a separate controller.

The indicators and controls for calibration and setup are accessible under the lid. The PCB has LED indicator lights for power, flow/no flow, and fault conditions.

There are built-in controls for sensitivity adjustments and setting time delays to prevent false alarms and it has a single analog relay output to communicate flow or no flow status.

The FD-2000 installs quickly & easily in 1-1/4” NPS fitting and there’s an optional saddle style pipe mount kit available.
