Abstract

This study aims to develop a sensitive and non-contact optic sensor design and fabrication for sludge
control system in marble processing plants. The concentration level of the dust in marble sludge must
be kept in limited values to prevent possible malfunctions in the marble processing machines. Thanks to
the developed sensor, the critic concentration level of sludge in recycling water can be determined
without resulting any irreversible damages in marble processing machines. The measurement results of
the designed sensor show that it can be configured easily without requiringdetermined position on the
recycling water pipe.
