Description

The Model FS Bulk Material Flow Control Switch produces a signal if the flow of material at any critical point is interrupted. This signal can then be used to correct the difficulty and/or warn the
operator. Several switches can be used, each one placed at critical points along the conveying system. A continuous flow of material past the switch holds the paddle-shaft-counter-weight assembly out of the actuated position. If flow stops, the paddle is allowed to pivot and actuate the switch. When this occurs a signal is generated to start or stop supporting machinery, or to activate visual or audible alarm systems.

The Model FS Bulk Material Flow Control Switch is adjustable. The paddle and counterweight assemblies can be positioned at various points along the shaft and rotated to any angular position. The shaft itself will adjust laterally. Inside, the actuating cams can be rotated so that switch actuation will occur at pre-determined points. This versatile switch can be mounted on all types of conveyors and feeders: in discharge openings of bins, bunkers, or hoppers; in angled and vertical chutes; or in discharge chutes of any configuration. It is available with aluminum housing, and
in standard or explosion proof models. The paddle and shaft are both stainless steel.
