Flow Blockage Detection System
Product Description
Precision Monitoring for Seeding, Fertiliser & Crop Flow Applications
At Vantage Ireland, we provide farmers and contractors with precision solutions that reduce downtime, increase accuracy, and ensure every pass counts. The Blockage crop flow detection system delivers reliable, real-time monitoring of seed and fertiliser flow across a wide range of agricultural applications. Designed for precision planters, pneumatic seeders, and any implement that conveys product through individual hoses, Blockage gives operators complete confidence that each outlet is performing exactly as it should.
Using advanced piezoelectric detection, the system identifies the movement of all common materials—from large seeds such as maize and soya, to cereals, fine seeds, fertiliser granules, and micropellets. Its modular design allows the system to adapt to virtually any hose diameter, offering exceptional versatility for both OEM installations and retrofit applications.
Key Features & Advantages
- Highly precise piezoelectric sensors for accurate detection of all seeds and fertilisers
- Unrestricted crop flow—the stainless-steel pipe design prevents blockages and resists wear
- Modular and adaptable to multiple hose sizes (approx. 25–50 mm)
- Maintenance-free and fully updatable for long service life
- Detects all material types: maize, soya, cereals, fine seeds, fertilisers, micropellets
- Multiple system integration options to suit any machine setup
- Robust construction with stainless-steel pipework for durability in all conditions
Flexible Integration Options
Blockage can be used in three different ways depending on your machine setup:
1. Sensor “Customised” (OEM Integration)
- Fully custom system integration
- Cabling options such as daisy-chain connections
- Open communication protocol for seamless OEM implementation
2. System “Integration”
- MIDI 3.0 controller with Blockage ECU
- Terminal for monitoring crop flow
- Full machine functionality and integration via ISOBUS
3. System “Standalone”
- Blockage ECU with a dedicated terminal
- Ideal for retrofits or monitoring only
- Plug-and-play ISOBUS compatibility
