"Influence of conveyor pockets on material throughput measurement by capacitive sensor"@en . . "Many various methods of material throughput measurement in agriculture and other branches were tested during the last 20 years. The current trends indicate that the non-contact methods of material throughput measurement can be more perspective than the contact methods. One of the possibilities is the capacitive throughput measurement method. In the Biosystems Engineering journal the theory of sensor filling was introduced. This theory considers material transporting on the conveyor belt. However, many conveyors are equipped with pockets. The pockets can influence the electric field of the sensor, i.e., the dependence between a filling of the sensor by material and its electrical capacitance is significantly changed. This fact can produce significant errors of throughput measurements. In this paper the influence of the conveyor pockets during material throughput measurement by a capacitive sensor was assessed.
