Optical monitor measures debris buildup on splitter blades

Eriez® has introduced the Splitter Monitor, an optical system that automatically measures debris buildup on the critical leading edge of splitter blades used in many different types of separation equipment in the recycling industry and alerting appropriate personnel when cleaning is needed.

The monitor provides an analog measurement of the amount of this detrimental buildup. It can be programmed through the Eriez Metal Loss Monitor web portal to send warning alerts via e-mail or cell phone text messages to prompt recycling line operators to clean the splitter blade.
