Meter monitors bulk material flows

UTILIZING two force sensor stations, the K-Tron Smart Flow Meter (SFM) is used in process applications that need reliable metering, registering or monitoring of bulk material flows. Models include the K-SFM-275-A and K-SFM-350. The SFM has no moving parts. Bulk material flows by gravity into the upper measuring channel, an inclined chute mounted on a force transducer where the force, acting perpendicularly on the chute is measured as mass. The bulk material then flows into the lower, vertical channel, which determines velocity or acceleration rate. Signals from the two sensors determine the flow rate per unit of time. Bulk materials include plastics, chemicals, animal feed, cement, coal, glass, aluminium, grain, etc; with very good to good flow characteristics. Since there are no moving parts, bulk materials are handled gently. K-Tron Germany GmbH T: +49 6051 9626 0 F: +49 6051 9626 44 Web: www.ktron.com FME308Nike Air Max
