Blocked Chute

AMETEK Drexelbrook is the industry leader in RF Admittance and they extend that experience to a unique range of blocked chute switches (plugged chute). The RF admittance technology enables a reliable measurement in the presence of build up and direct impact from heavy materials. Heavy duty, flush mounted blocked chute sensors ensure the highest resistance to abrasion and damage. Being flush mounted they won’t be the cause of a blockage.

The Drexelbrook blocked chute range is available in a various configurations to custom match your application requirements and can be easily adapted for changing conditions.

Drexelbrook’s Blocked chute switch is the ideal choice for hard wearing product or where users want a no fuss, long lasting instrument for the reliable detection of blocked chutes or point level in chutes and hoppers without the disruption of coatings. Blocked chute sensors are also available in curved shapes to perfectly fit round chutes.

Why is RF Admittance the best choice for your Blocked Chute Applications?

Unlike other conventional technologies that need either a break in the line of site or a sufficient force for a mechanical alarm. RF Admittance is looking for a the continuous link to ground only created by a blockage of material. This means you can freely flow product over the face of Drexelbrook’s blocked chute sensors without alarm. Couple this with the superior coating rejection provided by Drexelbrook’s Patent “Cote-Shield” technology, and you have a uniquely capable Blocked Chute Switch ready for the harshest of conditions.
