Flow Measurement & Control
Specially developed for flow metering of dry bulk solids with high levels of flow performance, the MaxxFlow HTC from SWR replaces complicated or expensive mechanical solutions such as impact plates and measuring chutes. With its completely open profile and low installation height, it measures almost all dry solids from the exit of prefeeding devices such as screw conveyors, air slides, rotary valves, bucket elevators and other feeders.
The Maxxflow works without any mechanical system and requires no expensive additional installation height, irrespective of the material to be measured in large mass flows. The device is suitable whenever large quantities of bulk solids have to be measured downstream of mechanical conveyor systems. There is no upper limit to the flow rate.
It is ideal for mass flow measurement where flows are in excess of 20 t/h and is pressure resistant up to 10 bar at temperatures up to 120°C. The instrument can be installed on round pipes or ducts and operates with the latest microprocessor technology. It is dust-proof and can be installed at an angle if required. The mass flow measurement is independent of flow characteristics, and with no moving parts in the system no maintenance is required.

Case History 197: Bad reboiler temperature control.
Michael Brown Control Engineering
Editor's Choice Flow Measurement & Control
It is very important that reboiler temperature controls operate well in petrochemical refineries, or the product quality can really suffer. I was asked to check such a control in a refinery where they were having problems with one of these controls.
