Summary

Dust Switch is a triboelectric principle dust leak detector that detects the presence of dust in gas streams by sensing the electrostatic charge generated when particles collide with a detecting probe. When the dust concentration exceeds a preset threshold, the generated triboelectric signal is converted into a relay or digital output, enabling reliable dust presence or leakage detection.

Benefits

Maintenance cost reduction

Supports predictive maintenance by the 24 hours continuous monitoring. Possible to use filters up to the end.

Early detection of abnormality

Enables immediate identification of filter failure or leakage, helping prevent environmental violations and unplanned shutdowns.

Workplace Safety

Detects unexpected sudden filter breaks or dust leakage and supports workplace safety as well as stable process operation.

Dust Switch

Features

Lightweight & Compact

Dust Switch Features

Lightweight and compact design with essential functions suitable for small industrial dust collectors.

Continuous Monitoring

Dust Switch Features

Provides continuous monitoring in place of human observation.

When the dust concentration exceeds a preset threshold, it outputs a signal.

Open-Collector Output

Dust Switch Features

The open-collector output (NPN) is directly connectable to PLC input.

Operating Principle

Triboelectric dust switch operates based on the triboelectric effect generated by particulate matter flowing in a gas stream.

When dust particles strike or pass through the sensing probe, electrical charges are transferred between the particles and the probe surface.

The resulting charge transfer and induced current are detected as an electrical signal whose magnitude is proportional to the concentration.

This signal is continuously processed by the monitor electronics, and it outputs a signal when the dust concentration exceeds a preset threshold.
