The CentriFlow Type I Meter, just as all CentriFlow brand meters, is a gravimetric mass flow meter designed to measure bulk solids in process. The Type I Meter is designed to be installed directly after feed devices that move material in a horizontal direction such as belts or vibratory conveyors. Perfect for installation in new construction or retrofitted into existing processes, the CentriFlow Type I Meter has an exceptionally small vertical footprint that can, in certain installations, be under 20" in height. With a wide variety of flow surfaces and options, the Type I Meter can be optimized to measure nearly any product from highly abrasive industrial materials to delicate foods such as chips. The Type I Meter can be installed in two orientations that either enable product to continue flowing in the same direction or that reverses the direction of the flow of the product stream.
REVERSE FLOW ORIENTATION
As seen in the below animation, a CentriFlow Meter positioned in the Reverse Flow orientation allows product to be redirected in the opposite direction from the feed device feeding the meter. This type of installation does not require a transition entering into the CentriFlow Meter and also takes up the least vertical space as it can be installed directly at the end of horizontally traveling feed devices such as belts or vibratory conveyors.
INLINE FLOW ORIENTATION
Product can also exit from the CentriFlow Meter in the same direction that it enters by installing the meter in the In-line Orientation.
