Product overview
Centripetal Flow meter:
The Centripetal Flow meter from Monad 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 +-0.1 %. The Monad''s Centripetal Flow Meter has NO moving parts. Calibration and installation are simple to perform.
Solid Construction/Low Maintenance:
Sturdy high-grade Stainless steel/ Alloy Steel construction with stainless steel flow paths makes the Monad Solid flow 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.
Totalizingapplications include:
- On Line Batching
- Continuous Batching
- Dogging
- Filling
- Inventory Control
The flow control output is a "real time" output that can govern the flow rate. Controlling VFD Drive or a valve with an analog signal allows the operator to adjust variables in the process to keep flow at the required output. For example, the flow control application can allow the feeding of an extruder at a constant rate by controlling the flow rate through the rotary valve.
Flow control applications include:
- Ratio control of two or more product streams
- Extruder feed control
- Continuous flow rate
Flexible:
The Monad Solid Flow 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 Solid flow Meter its ability to measure at various densities and turndown ratios while maintaining near perfect accuracy.
Turndown Ratio:
The Monad Flow Meter has a minimum 101 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.
