DYNAvel – Measurement of Solids Velocity

The DYNAvel measuring system provides a method that is just as reliable as it is accurate, which gives you the contactless determination of the actual solids velocity in pneumatic flow processes as well as in free fall applications, but also at filaments, films or sheets.
The measurement arrangement consists of the process connection implemented in the flow line made up of sensor technology (1), the “intelligent” measurement electronics unit (2) and the DYNAcon communication unit (4). A digital connecting cable (3) with a maximum length of 1000 metres offers a high degree of noise resistance and at several measuring points very little wiring effort, because it allows up to ten systems to be connected on one line.

Alternately or in addition to the communication unit, the DYNA PRO Visual software in combination with a notebook can be used for the setting and back up of the parameters. Then, the DYNAvel sensor electronics unit directly carries out the analogue output of the measured values.

The DYNAvel velocity measurement provides a reliable method to optimise flow processes. Not only is it possible to utilise flow gas more efficiently and minimize wear, but a more “gentle” flow reduces friction to the flow particle.

What’s more, a timely integration of the velocity values makes it possible to realise a more accurate length measurement of, for example, filaments, films and sheets. In combination with a separate concentration measurement (radiometry or microwave) the result is a unique flow measurement that provides continuous mass flow detection.
