12 Appendix D. Sensor Chute w/ Rotary Feed
The sensor chute is designed to be used in a bypass type
installation of the outlet moisture sensor. In a bypass type
installation only a portion of the total product flow passes
by the sensor.

Dimensions: 16 1/2” L x 8 1/2” W x 16 1/2” H
Upper mounting flange 8 1/2” x 8 1/2”
•
Built in sampling access
•
Motor is IP65, 25W, 115VAC single phase, 0.43FLA
reversible motor with 180:1 gear reduction
(230VAC also available if required)
•
Sensor housing can be mounted in any direction
without impacting flow (must be vertical)
Installation Considerations:
1. The sensor housing (top portion of the assembly)
can be mounted in any direction. You can unbolt
the four bolts attaching the sensor housing to the
rotary feed, then rotate the housing to the desired
direction, and then bolt back together. The sensor can also be mounted where
the viewing window is located (and then move the viewing window to the previous sensor
location).
2. Ideally the sensor housing and chute assembly should be free of grain when the dryer is not
running. This avoids having stagnant grain gumming up the assembly.
To do this the motor
for the rotary feed should be wired so that it is the last thing that shuts off after the
dryer shuts down
. Having the motor turn on and off with the dry conveyor will usually
accomplish this
3. To ensure proper flow, the transition piece mounted to the bottom of the chute should be the
same size as the hole leaving the chute (6
” X6 ” ).
