Measurement of the amount and speed of a material flow in pipes or tubes
SeeDector deploys a novel technique for measurement of amount and speed of a flow of particulate material (e.g. seeds, mineral fertilizer, granules) or liquids moving in pipes. For many applications - e.g. seed drills, fertilizer applicators, slurry injectors - the amount and speed of a material flow becomes measurable first time, real-time in the process. SeeDector is the seed blockage sensor in the SeedMon system.
SeeDector is a material flow sensor based on high-frequency electromagnetic waves (Microwaves, Doppler Radar). SeeDector is directly clamped onto a tube or pipe without alterations. Measurement data are transferred via CAN-Bus.
