The CentriFlow® from Eastern Instruments is a Solid-Particle
Mass Flow Meter that is durable, accurate, maintenance-free,
compact, and cost-effective. It is unique and positioned to
replace weigh belts, impact meters, loss in weight meters,
and static weigh scales, where accuracy, low maintenance,
and zero drift is paramount. Accuracy is not affected by
changes in product elasticity, density, or shape. The meter
offers a typical accuracy of ±0.25% of full-scale reading at
calibrated flow rate and is repeatable within ±0.10%. The
CentriFlow® Meter has NO moving parts. Calibration and
installation are simple to perform.
About CentriFlow
Why Choose CentriFlow?
Accurate
Unlike existing technologies that calculate based on weight,
speed, belt tension, or volume, the CentriFlowŽ Meter actually
measures flowable solids in a process. This unique
measurement ability allows the CentriFlowŽ Meter to have
0.25% accuracy full scale on virtually all flowable solids,
significantly improving the industry standard.
Flexible
The CentriFlowŽ Meter is not affected by changes in product
elasticity, density, shape or friction. Fluctuations in flow rate
don’t impact it’s accuracy. The linearity of the zero friction
formula gives the CentriFlowŽ Meter its ability to measure at
various densities and turndown ratios while maintaining near
perfect accuracy.
Solid Construction/Low Maintenance
Sturdy high-grade aluminum construction with stainless steel
flow paths makes the CentriFlowŽ Meter a very low
maintenance instrument. It rarely requires re-calibration
because there are no moving parts. There are no belts or
drives. Plus, the electronics are located outside the process
stream and are not subject to vibration from the manufacturing
process.
Plant Efficient Configurations
Designed to fit into just about any existing process with
minimal changes, the CentriFlowŽ Meter is available in two
configurations.
The Type I Configuration is designed to attach to the end of an
existing horizontal conveyor belt system. The Type II
Configuration is designed for an in-line vertical application.
Compared to alternative devices, the CentriFlowŽ is compact
and extremely efficient in its space requirements and doesn’t
require floor mounting.
Turndown Ratio
The CentriFlowŽ Meter has a minimum 20:1 turndown
capability while maintaining accuracy. The meter’s unique
design enables it to identify and cancel the friction component
of the mass flow. The resulting signal is flow = mass rate,
which is linear. The linearity allows the meter to work at 0.25%
accuracy full scale. This means it is not affected by the wide
variances typical to process flow.
Continuous Measurement for
Continuous Improvement
The CentriFlowŽ Meter’s ability to
provide accurate, real-time,
continuous flow measurement
allows you to optimize your process
like never before. The ability to
measure gives you the control to
manage.
Type I Configuration
The Type I Configuration is designed for
horizontal feed systems and can be
mounted to keep the product stream
flowing in-line or to reverse the direction of
flow. Typical Feed Systems include belt
conveyors and vibratory conveyors.
Type II Configuration
The Type II Configuration is designed for
vertical feed systems and can be mounted
keeping the product stream vertically in-
line. The configuration utilizes an
enclosure, which includes a diverter plate
that directs product towards the
Measurement Pan and allows it to
discharge below. An optional flange is
available on the intake to mate to a
transition or flexible connection. The
enclosure also incorporates an access
panel to view internal product flow and an
integrated calibration chute door for the
purpose of product collection to calibrate
the meter. This configuration is ideal for
processes that are highly pulsating due
to the feed system and/or products that
need to be contained or enclosed.
Typical Feed Systems include screw
conveyors, rotary valves, and slide
gates.
