The ILE37 and ILE61 measuring heads are external sensing elements for the TFE/TFV series flowmeters for solids.
Benefits
- Simple installation thanks to modular design
- Min. accuracy ± 1 %, high reproducibility
- Flow measurement of bulk material in a fully enclosed dust-tight enclosure
- Sensor applied externally to protect against soiling
- No zero drift thanks to unique sensing mechanism
- Low maintenance; only the measuring plate is in contact with the bulk material
- No influence on material flow
Application
The ILE37 and ILE61 measuring heads are suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from product dosing to batch loading/unloading operations to feeding in the process. They have amply demonstrated their outstanding long-term reliability in the field. The ILE37 and ILE61 measuring heads only measure the horizontal force created by the impact of the material on the measuring plate. The horizontal deflection is applied to a highly reliable linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). Frictionless joints exclude the influence of vertical forces on the measurement. The displacement by deflection acting on the differential transformer is controlled by a spring corresponding to the maximum flow rate. A shock-absorbing fluid ensures the smooth continuity of displacement in the presence of pulsating flow. The differential transformer converts the horizontal displacement, proportional to the force of the impact on the measuring plate, into an electrical signal. The integrator then processes this signal to display the range and totalised weight. This method of flow measurement has been tried and tested in countless applications around the world.
