Hansentek Ember Detector
Hansentek Ember detection, employs advanced infra-red sensor technology to swiftly identify and alert the presence of incandescent embers on conveyors. By promptly detecting these potentially hazardous glowing embers, the system enhances industrial and environmental security, averting potential fires and ensuring operational continuity.
There are two models ember detector available; model 146 which is exclusively being used with the Hansentek AN104 or AN6400 panels and the model 246 which can be used with any third party PLC on the market.
The 146 ember detector and 246 Ember Detectors are ultra-sensitive infrared optical sensors designed to detect the radiant energy emitted by burning or glowing embers being transmitted on conveyer belts. The ember detector is designed to detect a 6cm2 ember at a distance of 1 meter. This can be done while the conveyer is traveling at up to 6 m/sec.
The 146 and 246 ember detectors can be used in combination with our 902-1 water spray assembly to protect conveyor belts properly.
Features

Performance
The 146 and 246 ember detectors are sensitive only to the radiation emitted by the formation of CO2 produced by a smoldering ember and is insensitive to ambient light – even solar.
The 146 ember detector is designed to only work with the Hansentek AN104 and AN640-x control panels. The 246 ember detector is designed to be compatible with non-Hansentek panels on the market.
These units are commonly used in on conveyers in the coal and wood industry as well as the waste and pulp/paper handling industry.
