For the ultimate in accuracy, the CentriFlow CFM is the meter of choice. With typical accuracies of within +/-0.25% for most flowable products, the CentriFlow CFM offers a variety of customizable features for flow surfaces and options for enhancing the flowability of difficult to measure products. The CentriFlow CFM can be used in the "open style" Type I orientation, or in the "enclosed style" Type II orientation, depending on your process.
The CentriFlow® Type I Meter, just as all CentriFlow® brand meters, is a mass flow meter designed for measuring bulk solids continuously within a process. The Type I Meter is perfect for measuring relatively free-flowing, larger particle materials such as granules, pellets or even chips or snack foods and is specifically designed to be installed directly after feed devices such as belts or vibratory conveyors.
The CFM Type I Standard Meter is exceedingly versatile and can be utilized for nearly any application requiring a mass flow measurement in which the product is being fed in a horizontal direction. The CFM Type I Standard Meter is perfect for large products such as tortilla chips or cereals, as well as smaller, more granular products such as pellets or grains. Type I CentriFlow® Meters, can be mounted in either the Reverse or the In-Line Flow orientation. While both orientations of the meter are mechanically identical, when oriented in the In-Line orientation, the meter can be tilted backwards (up to 20 Degrees) in order to facilitate the movement of product through the meter.
