SeeDector sensorMeasurement of amount and speed of product flow in hoses / pipes SeeDector deploys a microwave doppler technique (”Radar”) for detecting mass flow and flow speed of particulate products in hoses / pipes - pneumatically conveyed or free falling. For many applications e.g. pneumatic seed drills und fertilizer applicators the product mass flow and flow speed are measurable first time. Product flow measurement • Detection of product flow • Sensor solution for detection of partial blockage in an early stage of building-up • Measurement through plastic hoses / pipes / tubes without any design alterations • Simple installation by clamping on • Measurement not susceptible to dust and incrustation inside of pipes • fully encapsulated, environment protection to IP69K • German and European Patent pending • US - Patent granted

The SeeDector smart sensor detects the amount and speed of flowing particulate products in hoses / pipes. The product is moving either pneumatically conveyed or free falling / flowing. The System is based on a novel solution deploying a 24 Ghz microwave frontend. Besides the product mass flow the speed spectrum of the flowing particles can also be computed. Seedector is a smart sensor system with integrated digital signal processing. Application areas are e.g. the mass flow measurement and blockage detection on pneumatic or mechanical seed drills and pneumatic fertilizer applicators....
