LVDT Type

Overview

SITRANS WF100 flowmeter is a low to medium capacity flowmeter for various product sizes, densities, and fluidities in restricted spaces.

Benefits

  • Flowrates from 3 to 200 t/h (4 to 220 STPH)
  • Continuous monitoring of the material flow without interrupting the process
  • Dust-tight construction: suitable for use in hazardous areas and in washdown applications that require frequent cleaning
  • Minimal maintenance or recalibration after the initial installation and material tests

Application

WF100 is unaffected by corrosive, abrasive, or hot materials. Handling various product sizes, densities, and fluidities including fine powders such as sugar, the WF100 helps to improve final product, increase operating efficiency, and realize significant cost savings.

Dry bulk solids enter the flow guide producing a mechanical deflection as they strike the flowmeter sensing plate before continuing through the process un-hindered. The WF100 converts the deflection into an electrical signal that feeds into an accompanying integrator, which instantaneously displays the flow rate and totalizes the weight.

Key applications
  • Cement
  • Wood chips
  • Cereals
  • Seeds
  • Grains
  • Soybean and rice hulls
  • Unshelled peanuts
  • Starch
  • Sugar
  • Potato flakes
  • Grain tailings and screenings
  • Plastic pellets

Overview

SITRANS WF200 and WF250 flowmeters are medium to high capacity flowmeters for various product sizes, densities, and fluidities.

Benefits

  • For specialized pre-feed applications
  • Sensing element mounted outside process
  • Flowrates from 200 to 900 t/h (220 to 990 STPH)
  • Continuously monitoring of the material flow without interrupting the process
  • Dust-tight construction: suitable for use in hazardous areas and in washdown applications that require frequent cleaning
  • Minimal maintenance or recalibration after the initial installation and material tests

Application

Operating with a microprocessor based integrator package, the WF200 series flowmeters display flow rate, totalized flow, and rate alarms. Outputs are 0/4 to 20 mA proportional to rate and contact closure for remote totalization. Dry bulk solids enter the flowmeter before continuing through the process unhindered. The load cells convert the horizontal force of the deflection into an electrical signal. The integrator processes this into flowrate and integrated total weight. The sensing process is immune to the effect of product build-up as only the horizontal force is measured.

With load cells located externally to the process, the WF200 series flowmeters measure high capacities with a maximum rate of 900 t/h (990 STPH). For high capacity aerated gravity conveyor pre-feed, the WF250 has a maximum rate of 900 t/h (990 STPH).

Key applications
  • Aggregates
  • Grain
  • Cement
  • Mineral processing

Overview

SITRANS WF300 series are low to medium capacity flowmeters for various product sizes, densities, and fluidities.

Benefits

  • For specialized pre-feed applications
  • Sensing element mounted outside proc
  • Flowrates from 0.2 to 300 t/h (0.2 to 330 STPH)
  • Continuously monitoring of the material flow without interrupting the process
  • Dust-tight construction: suitable for use in hazardous areas and in washdown applications that require frequent cleaning
  • Minimal maintenance or recalibration after the initial installation and material tests

Application

With weighing mechanics located externally, the WF300 series solids flowmeters are unaffected by corrosive, abrasive, or hot materials. Handling a wide range of product sizes, densities, and fluidities including fine powders such as cement, they operate at process temperatures to 230 °C (450 °F). The flowmeters help to improve final product, increase operating efficiency, and realize significant cost savings.

Operating with the appropriate SITRANS WFS sensing head and a micro-processor-based integrator package, the WF300 series flowmeters provide a display of the flow rate, totalized flow, and alarms. Outputs are 0/4 to 20 mA proportional to rate, and open collector output for remote totalization.

Dry bulk solids enter the flow guide producing a mechanical deflection as they strike the flowmeter sensing plate before continuing through the process unhindered. The LVDT in the sensing head converts the deflection of the horizontal force into an electrical signal. The integrator processes this signal into a display of flowrate and integrated total weight. The weighing process is immune to the effect of product build-up as only the horizontal force is measured. SITRANS WF330 flowmeters are totally enclosed, with external weighing mechanics, operating with corrosive, abrasive or hot materials. SITRANS WF350 series operates with aerated gravity conveyors, and includes integral vents and baffles for air separation. For applications with little available headroom, the SITRANS WF340 series flowmeters provide the answer.

Sensing Heads Type

Overview

SITRANS WFS300 and WFS320 sensing heads are out-of-the process sensing elements for SITRANS WF300 series solids flowmeters.

Benefits

  • Easy installation with modular assembly
  • ± 1 % accuracy (or better) with high repeatability
  • Totally enclosed, dust-tight, flow metering of bulk solids
  • Sensing mechanism is outside the process, protected from contamination
  • No zero drift, due to unique sensing mechanism
  • Low maintenance; only the sensing plate is in the process
  • No restriction of product flow

Application

SITRANS WFS300 and WFS320 sensing heads are used in applications such as product rationing, batch load-out, and process feed rate control, the WFS series of sensing heads has been field-proven in thousands of applications with some units providing over a quarter century of reliable performance. The WFS sensing heads use only the horizontal force created by impact of product upon the sensing plate and then apply the horizontal deflection to a highly reliable linear variable differential transformer (LVDT).

Friction-less pivots exclude the vertical force from the sensing process and the LVDT travel range is controlled by a coil spring selected for the specified full-scale flow rate. A viscous fluid damper provides mechanical damping in the event of pulsating flows.

The LVDT converts the horizontal movement, proportional to the impact forces into an electrical signal, which is converted by the integrator to time-based flow rate indication and totaling. This method of sensing material flow has been proven best in thousands of applications all over the world.

Overview

Milltronics BW500 is a full feature integrator for use with both belt scales and weighfeeders.

Milltronics BW500/L is an integrator for use in basic belt scale or weighbelt applications.

Benefits

  • Automatic zero and electronic span calibration
  • Alarms for rate, load, speed, or diagnostic error
  • On-board Modbus, optional PROFIBUS DP, ProfiNet, Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet
  • Comprehensive weighfeeder control functions
  • PID control and on-line calibration with optional analog I/O card
  • Differential speed detection with second speed sensor
  • Moisture meter input with optional analog I/O card for calculation of dry weight
  • Inclinometer input with optional analog I/O card to compensate for conveyor slope
  • Suitable for belt scale custody approval
  • Measurement Canada, OIML, MID, GOST, and NTEP approved

Application

Milltronics BW500 and BW500/L operate with a belt scale and a speed sensor. Belt load and speed signals are processed for accurate flow rate and totalized weight of bulk solids.

BW500 can take on lower level control functions traditionally handled by other devices, and it supports popular industrial communication buses. Its proven load cell balance function eliminates matching of load cells.

The PID function may be used for rate control on shearing weighfeeders - where belt loading is constant - but can also control pre-feeding devices. Operating in tandem with two or more weighfeeders, the BW500 may be used for ratio blending and controlling additives. Batching, load out, and alarm functions are also provided by the BW500.

Dolphin Plus software may be used for programming the unit on a PC.
