4 Improving the Material Flow
4.1
Diverters
Maintaining a minimum material depth on the conveyor belt is vital to ensure that the sensor is
in contact with the material and to remove the possibility of conveyor belt interference.
Adjustments to the flow will be required if the minimum depth is not achievable. Installation of
diverters to restrict the flow, and as a result increase the depth, can be used to maintain the
correct material flow. (Figure 11)
