Simply detecting if the chute is plugged is certainly the first step in eliminating this problem. However, there is technology available to prevent chute pluggage. Many times a vibrator, air cannon, or chute redesign can totally elliminate chute pluggage. We would need to know items such as the conveyed material, chute size and layout, and how often the chute plugs.
