Flowmeters play a vital role in sanitary processing. They are used to measure incoming raw materials, incoming water supply, CIP solutions, ingredients in your formulation, final product production and even waste water leaving the plant.
Considering their use in critical applications, ensuring that you are using the right type of meter with the correct level of accuracy for your application can be the difference in the quality of your product and save you thousands of dollars in lost revenue or profit. In sanitary processing, one will typically find mechanical flowmeters (Positive Displacement, Turbine), electromagnetic and Coriolis flowmeters.

Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

The effect of a merry-go-round on balance is achieved through flowmeters with a split coil design, which measure the time delay between two sine waves, directly proportional to mass flow rate.

A Coriolis mass flowmeter operates on motion mechanics principles, using a vibrating tube to measure fluid flow. As fluid moves through, it accelerates towards peak amplitude vibration, while decelerating fluid moves away, causing a twisting reaction.
