QuantiMassMass Flow Measurement Sensor, Inline for Powders and Bulk Solids

SHARE

The QuantiMass mass flow / solids flow sensor (meter) measures the flow of quantities in pneumatic conveying & free-falling processes for powders, dust, bulk solids, pellets, and granular up to 0.75 inch (2cm). The solids flow sensor (meter) is based on the latest microwave technology and provides fast, continuous in-line (online) measurements of the powder or bulk solid material. The sturdy, non-intrusive design of the sensor minimizes maintenance. Also, the compact size of the sensor makes for easy installation into existing processes.  Available with a DIN-rail transmitter (PRO Version) or controller (ULTRA Version) to provide output.

The QuantiMass Mass Flow Measurement Sensor / Meter is designed with the latest microwave technology and is used to continuously quantify the flow of powders & solids being conveyed in metallic pipes. The QuantiMass is based on technology that has been developed and proven over several years. The measurement process of the sensor is centered on the Doppler effect. The mass flow-rate is determined by evaluating the frequency and amplitude changes during the measurement process. Particles at rest, such as deposits, do not influence the measurement. All powders, dust, pellets and granules can be measured reproducibly, up to the size of 0.75 inch (2cm). The QuantiMass sensor is suitable for continuous in-line / on-line measurements in pneumatic conveying or in free-fall pipelines.
