PicoFlow - Powder Measuring

PicoFlow is particularly good in pneumatic applications but will also work reliably in free-fall applications with drop speeds of at least 2 m/s.

The measuring system delivers absolute measurements (after calibration) in g/h or kg/h. A special air purging system is also available as an option. This is used for materials which tend to bake onto surfaces.

PicoFlow is used for the following:
• In pneumatic applications for material flow rates of up to 100 kg/h (depending on application)
• In free-fall with a drop speed of at least 2 m/s (approx. 25cm drop height)
• In cases where dust measuring instruments cannot cope and flow rate measuring instruments are overspecified

Function

The measuring principle of the PicoFlow is based on the electrodynamic measuring effect. A ceramic coating on the very short antenna prevents sensor wear. Specially developed hardware and software allows the measurements to be linearised.
