6.1 Installation with very coarse-grained and sharp-edged bulk
goods
The installation of guards is recommended for very large grained and sharp-
edged materials with high specific weight.
A proposal for such a guard is
shown in the sketch. The guard
mounted over the level monitor
protects sensor and membrane
against damage from dropping bulk
material. The curtain (made of
rubber or plastic, for instance) protects
the membrane from excessive
wear by hanging against the membrane
as the amount of bulk material
increases. Make sure that
the monitor is not in the path of
the inflowing material, as otherwise
monitor and membrane would be
destroyed very quickly.
