Model FS Bulk Material Flow Controller

March 21, 2018
Conveyor Components' bulk flow controller can detect the presence or absence of dry bulk material on a conveyor belt.

Model FS bulk material flow controller can be used as a flow/no flow device, or it can be used as a downstream plugged chute detector. The aluminum enclosure is designed for NEMA 4 weatherproof applications, while the explosion-proof version can be used in NEMA 7 vapor explosion-proof and NEMA 9 dust ignition-proof environments. Optional black epoxy coating is also available for additional corrosion resistance.

 

The standard 20 A SP/DT microswitches (or optional 15 A DP/DT microswitches) can be used to control a variety of equipment such as start-stop operations of conveyors, elevators, feeder systems, and even provide control of audible or visual warning alarms. The paddle is stainless steel material and can be easily replaced if worn or damaged. The paddle and counterweight are easily field adjustable to any angular orientation. 

 

The model FS controller is cULus Listed.
