The ultrasonic flow meter of the SU series from ifm - South Africa monitors liquid media such as water, glycol solutions or industrial oils. It detects the three process categories volumetric flow quantity, consumed quantity, and medium temperature. Peak consumption, present consumption or accumulated consumption can be accessed and adjusted via programmed switch and alarm level settings, all at the touch of a button.
The units feature two switching outputs which can be programmed as normally open or normally closed. For output of the measured value, one switching output can also be configured as a scalable analogue output. For consumed quantity monitoring, the other output transmits counting pulses to the controller.
In addition to volumetric flow monitoring, the SU also monitors the temperature of the medium. It is displayed on the unit and provided for signal processing. The sensor is thus particularly suited for monitoring cooling circuits.
Precision, hygiene and reliability for food-oil production
The food-oil industry demands measurement technology that performs reliably under varying temperatures, viscosities and strict hygiene requirements. The ifm SUH hygienic ultrasonic flowmeter is engineered specifically to meet these challenges, delivering accurate and repeatable flow measurement for sunflower, rapeseed and blended edible oils.
With advanced ultrasonic technology and a fully hygienic design, the SUH series ensures consistent product quality, reduces waste and improves operational efficiency across all production stages. Features include:
Designed for food-oil applications
• Suitable for food oils with viscosities ranging from
• Stable and precise measurement, even when product temperature or viscosity fluctuates.
• Ideal for dosing, blending, filtration, transfer and filling lines.
Hygienic by design
• Tri-Clamp process connections for quick and secure installation.
• Stainless steel measuring tube with no internal seals, gaskets or moving parts.
• No dead spaces or contamination risk.
• CIP/SIP compatible for fast and reliable cleaning cycles.
• Resistant to blockages, leakage, and pressure drop issues.
