Abstract
Abstract In terms of monitoring the material and volume flow of pipe conveyors, the conveyor is considered to be a volumetric machine that does not have a "self-defence" function - in most cases, material needs to be dosed and monitored in the critical parts of the conveyor for smooth transportation and quick detection of deficiencies and errors. Appropriate attachment of the material flow sensor to the pipe conveyor structure plays an important role for efficient material monitoring on the pipe conveyor belt. The paper specifies and subsequently analyzes selected methods of mounting an optical material flow monitor - the Bulkscan LMS511, based on the ratio index method by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of individual variants. The optimal variant is modelled in the PTC Creo Parametric program and the estimated costs for its implementation are evaluated.

Summary
In terms of monitoring the material and volume flow of pipe conveyors, the conveyor is considered to be a volumetric machine that does not have a "self-defence" function - in most cases, material needs to be dosed and monitored in the critical parts of the conveyor for smooth transportation and quick detection of deficiencies and errors. The paper specifies and subsequently analyzes selected methods of mounting an optical material flow monitor - the Bulkscan LMS511, based on the ratio index method by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of individual variants. This paper specifies and subsequently analyzes the selected type of optical security device based on the ratio index method by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of individual variants. The key factor of proper monitoring is the correct installation and ideal attachment of the monitoring device to the pipe conveyor construction. This is done by different handles respectively, mounting kits that provide optimal, uninterrupted and efficient monitoring.
