Their portfolio includes RF admittance, ultrasonic, magnetostrictive, hydrostatic, and radar-based level measurement devices, all designed to perform in the most demanding environments. Industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals rely on Drexelbrook's robust solutions to ensure operational safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Through its collaboration with Drexelbrook, Avensys provides Canadian clients with access to world-class technologies tailored to mission-critical applications.
The Drexelbrook Plugged Chute Detector reliably detects the presence or absence of material flowing through chutes. If process material stops flowing due to a plugged condition, the flush mounted capacitance sensing element will alarm, allowing further action to occur (alerting an operator, shutting down a conveyor belt, etc.).

The Drexelbrook plugged chute detector, also known as a blocked chute switch, reliably detects the presence or absence of bulk solids material flowing through chutes in an economical way without sacrificing flow speed.

Due to the rugged sensor design this point level switch is ideal for coal, wood chips, ores and powders. As it is flush mounted through a chute wall, nothing protrudes into the chute to interfere with or obstruct material flow.

This point level switch automatically recognizes and ignores coatings to prevent false alarms. The universal power supply automatically detects and adjusts to the input power source.

Unlike many technologies this point level switch for plugged chute detection allows electronics to be remote mounted to a convenient or safe location.

The reliable detection of plugged chutes will keep your plant running smoothly and virtually eliminates spills occuring due to plugged conditions.
