Market: Food, Beverage, Tobacco

Application Category: Batching

GPI Flow Meters Used: GSCPS-150; GSCPS-100

Problem:

Accurately measure fluid into containers at a reasonable cost while maintaining 3A sanitary requirements with a meter that can withstand repeated stop/start batching flows.

Flow Meter Application:

Manufactures using filling machines require accurate batch sizes to maintain quality control while filling various size containers. When installed inline immediately before the filling head, the GPI turbine meters fluid flow with high K-factors giving exceptional signal resolution.The pulse count is sent to a controller that counts the pulses signaling the shut off valve to open or close as required. For most food applications, the 3A sanitary meter is required. The single post rotor design allows for repeated start/stop batching flows without damaging the meter.

Drawing of Application:

Solution:

GPI turbine meters measure at 0.5% of reading accuracy and are more cost effective than weight scales or other metering devices. These meters incorporates a single post rotor design for durability and meets 3A sanitary guidelines.

Advantages of Using GPI Flow Meters:

• 3A Sanitary Approval
• Accuracy
• Cost Savings
