Eastern Instruments is excited to introduce the CentriFlow BWS, an economical, yet extremely accurate gravimetric in-line mass flow meter that positions itself as an alternative to impact flow meters and belt scales. The CentriFlow BWS measures product dynamically, meaning that it measures product while it is moving through your process. The BWS is perfect for measuring granular solids such as grains, pellets, beans, wood chips or even pet food as well as free-flowing granular powders such as sand.
Often, when considering a measurement system, especially when measuring less expensive products, flow meter cost can be a determining factor in the selection of a flow meter. Unfortunately, extremely accurate flow meters can be very expensive and conversely, meters such as Impact Flow Meters, that can be relatively inexpensive are typically not very accurate at all.
The CentriFlow BWS has redefined this dynamic by empowering customers with a choice that ensures both accuracy and economy. With an accuracy of better than +/- 2.00% on most flowable, granular products, the BWS is much more accurate than many alternative technologies. Maybe even more importantly, however, is that at half the cost of some of the highly accurate models, the CentriFlow BWS is a very economical choice in industrial weighing.
The accuracy of the CentriFlow BWS is a result of Eastern Instruments' patented CentriFlow design which is based on the principle of centripetal force. As product slides through the BWS flow meter, the product slides around a curved measurement pan which exerts a centripetal force on the curved surface.
