Standard triboelectric technology is based on the DC signal, which is caused by particles making contact with the sensor to transfer charges. Compared to DC based measurements, the AC based technology is much more sensitive and mitigates the influence of sensor contamination which is of huge benefit for industrial applications. By using AC based Inductive Electricity Technology it is possible to reach dust concentration measurement thresholds as low as 0.01 mg/m3.

The Basic Triboelectric ETG Tribo Dust Mini 485 it’s composed of a probe with an electrode. The communication between the probe and the Main board it’s performed by a couple twisted wires by a digital communication. The Electrical power to the probe is supplied to the Main board with the twisted wires. The welded base is durable Stainless Steel, whilst screeen is connected from probe to Main board via cables. 

The Main board microprocessor manages several functions thanks to its digital display such as: Warm up, Last software release, test probe , programmable start delay, instantaneous value, average value, remaining time to the last average, minimum & maximum value, threshold alarm on instantaneous or average value, analogic full scale value, internal diagnostic, calibration procedure.

Main Applications: bag filter management in the wood industry, cement manufacturing, metallurgical, sulphur plant, dust control system for the smelter industry, emission monitoring in the bioethanol, chemical, and power industries, ESPY coal fired power plant, process monitoring in the chemical, steel, and pharmaceutical industries, RF Network (Paper Machinery), and steel manufacturing.
