The SRI Chute Height Sensor is used to measure the height of bagasse in a chute and the resulting signal is used to control the height in the chute by varying the flow of bagasse through a sugarcane crushing mill.
The height is measured via electrodes installed in the chute wall.
SRI’s clients have found the Sensor is extremely useful in smoothing the flow of bagasse through the mill. The Sensor can be used in many types of chutes, including the Donnelly chute and boiler feed chutes.
Major features of the SRI Chute Height Sensor are:
- Measures and indicates the level of bagasse or prepared cane in a feed chute;
- Suitable for use in a chute height control system for individual milling units or boiler feed chutes;
- Conductivity electrodes or optical sensors available to suit specific application;
- Can operate on one chute with up to 16 electrodes or two chutes with up to 8 electrodes in each chute. When operating in the dual chute mode, each chute is provided with an individual 4-20 mA current output for the indication of chute level. Relay outputs are optional; and
- The Sensor can also be used on boiler feed chutes with optical sensor technology, with a single unit capable of monitoring up to 4 chutes.
SRI’s Chute Height Sensor is sold ready for installation. SRI provides installation and operation instructions and advice by telephone to clients.
