MultiFLOW METER

Accurate Mass Flowmeter for Solids in Large Pipes or Chutes

  • Triple Sensor Input
  • Free fall or Dilute-phase pneumatic conveying
  • True Mass Flow Output
  • For pneumatic conveying and freefall processes (typically 1 to 400 tph)
  • Easy installation and start up procedures for calibration
  • Integral solids flow measurement for all types of powders, granules, flakes, chips, etc.
  • Install on pipe diameters  greater than 8 inches (chutes and ducts need to be reviewed)
  • Long-term stable, reliable, and redundant
  • Sensor supply for connections up to 1000 m
  • Galvanically separated RS485-Interface for PLC-Connection
  • Analog 4-20 mA output, RS485 and alarm relay

Use

MF METER (Solids Flow) uses the principle of the Doppler effect.
A microwave signal is emitted, thereby generating an electromagnetic field inside the pipes.  The particles passing in movement in this field generate a signal that varies in amplitude and frequency.  The rate of flow is computed from a mathematical analysis combined with a calibration (with real measurements).

The Smart HMI Controller combines the raw signals of all 3 sensors and produces an accurate overall flow measurement usually within +/- 1-3% FS.  This intelligent system compensates for material randomly flowing at different concentrations within the pipe diameter.

Why Use Three MF METERs?

  • Eliminates Flow Profile Bias: Product rarely flows uniformly in wide pipes or chutes. Averaging three independent measurements eliminates errors caused by asymmetrical flow.
  • Redundant Measurement: Ensures continued operation if one sensor fails.
  • Improved Accuracy: Captures localized variations, delivering a reliable overall mass flow value.

 

Function

Beyond the working principle, the technology developed for MultiFLOW METER allows the equipment to compensate for variations in:

  • Concentration
  • Speed of particles
  • Granulometrics
  • Temperature
  • Buildup

FOR BETTER PRECISION.
FOR BETTER REPEATABILITY.
FOR BETTER STABILITY OVER TIME.

Contactless measurement
Very easy-to-use device
No maintenance
No remote electronic handling

 

Mounting and Installation

SENSOR MOUNTING PROCEDURE :

  1. Position the circlip on the waveguide regarding depth of the bushing + valve +
    bracket + thickness of the pipe.
    For optimal operation, the sensor head should be at least flush with the inside of the
    pipe or slightly inside.
    Use a depth gauge to determine the exact depth
  2. Unscrew the headless screws of the blue holder bracket.
  3. If you have a valve, open the valve to allow the passage of the waveguide.
  4. Insert the waveguide sensor proper depth.
  5. Secure the sensor with the screws.
