Siemens Industry Automation Division has expanded its dry solids flowmeter product line with the new Sitrans WF100, Sitrans WF200 and Sitrans WF250 strain-gauge load cell based flowmeters. These new meters provide effective measuring for compact installations and high capacity applications.
Sitrans WF100 handles flow rates of 1 to 200 t/h while the Sitrans WF200 series handles flow rates of 200 to 900 t/h. Sitrans WF250 is for use with air-activated gravity conveyors or air slides, typically found in cement processing. The Sitrans WF250’s unique design includes an air chamber that separates the air from the material, thereby removing the impact of air on the sensing plate and providing accurate measurement. All of the Sitrans WF100 and Sitrans WF200 series flowmeters use patented triple beam parallelogram style load cells that have proven their reliability and durability for over 25 years in Siemens heavy-duty belt scales and offer accuracy and repeatability.
The organisation has also rebranded the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) based Milltronics flowmeters into the Sitrans WF300 series. Milltronics E-40/V-40, Milltronics E-300/V-300, and Milltronics A-40/A-300 flowmeters have been respectively rebranded to Sitrans WF330 standard-duty flowmeter, Sitrans WF340 compact flowmeter for constricted spaces and Sitrans WF350 unique flowmeter for aerated materials. Sitrans WF300 series flowmeters have capacities of up to 300 t/h and have CSA and FM approvals.
Sitrans WF300 series flowmeters use Sitrans WFS300 and 320 LVDT based sensing heads. The sensing element of these flowmeters is mounted outside the process, which protects it from exposure to harsh environments. Frictionless pivots exclude the vertical force of the measured material and a viscous fluid damper provides mechanical damping in the event of pulsating flows.
WF solids flowmeters are ideal for monitoring solid materials in cement, mineral, plastics and food processing industries. They are unaffected by vertical force changes caused by material build-up, performing in situations where other weighing devices have difficulties such as in fly-ash or flour applications.
