Material Flow Monitoring on a Combine Harvester

After the chaff is separated from the wheat, a bucket elevator (or a spiral conveyor) transports the grain to the grain tank. During this process, a light barrier checks the flow of material in the elevator. When cylindrical light barriers are used, complex solutions involving deflection mirrors must be designed for this purpose. With the TM18 from Banner Engineering, Turck offers a light barrier that can be mounted easily onto both sides of the grain chute thanks to its compact design. The robust light barrier provides an EMC strength of 200 V/m for protection against interference caused by radiation, and can even be used at temperatures of +90°C.
