Gravimetric solids flow measurement provides greater control and long term accuracy than alternatives such as volumetric scales, but not all gravimetric flow meters achieve the same level of accuracy. While impact meters and belt scales are gravimetric devices, they too are prone to error with even slight variations in particle size if the products are dusty or powdery. The key to achieving the best results with a gravimetric solids measurement device is the proper presentation of material to the measurement surface in a way that maximizes measurement surface contact (for higher accuracy) and keeps the measurement surface filled (as a method of self-cleaning). Utilizing the patented CentriFlow Technology, Eastern Instruments' solids flow measurement product line offers accurate, cost-effective and simple solutions to your process measurement needs.

CFL - LOW FLOW RATES
The CentriFlow CFL Solid Particle Mass Flow Meter measures bulk solid materials continuously in a process. The CFL version flow meter is designed specifically for low flow applications of under 8,000 lb/hr. The CFL mass flow meter can be optioned for powdery materials as well as for granular materials and will measure continuous flow down to 100 lb/hr. The CFL model is perfect for additive dosing or blending of minor ingredients.
CFM - MOST APPLICATIONS

FLOW RATE: 4-160 T/hr
MATERIALS: Any Flowable Solid
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 0.32-1.6 g/cm³
FLOW RATE: 3.6-145 mT/hr
MATERIALS: Any Flowable Solid
CFM - MOST APPLICATIONS
The CentriFlow Solid Particle Mass Flow Meter measures bulk solid materials continuously in a process. The CFM model is perfect for most applications where products are either granular or powdery materials. It is often used for mixing, blending, or ratio control applications in the petrochemical, agricultural, aggregate, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The CentriFlow Meter is unique and positioned to replace weigh belts, impact meters, loss-in-weight meters, and static weigh scales, where accuracy, low maintenance and zero drift are paramount. Solid construction, low maintenance, and a compact package allows the CentriFlow to be installed almost anywhere.
HDM - HIGH FLOW RATES
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 20-100 lb/ft³
FLOW RATE: 160 T/hr and higher
MATERIALS: Any Flowable Solid
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 0.32-1.6 g/cm³
FLOW RATE: 145 mT/hr and higher
MATERIALS: Any Flowable Solid
HDM - HIGH FLOW RATES
The CentriFlow HDM Solid Particle Mass Flow Meter measures bulk solid materials continuously in a process and is specifically designed for large flow rates or heavy, high bulk density materials. The HDM model is perfect for high capacity manufacturing processes with throughput well over 100 Tons/hour. Some specific applications for the HDM have been loadout applications where railcars or trucks are being loaded for transport.
LDM - LOW DENSITY APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 1-20 lb/ft³
FLOW RATE: 2-150 T/hr
MATERIALS: Bulky, Low Density
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 0.016-.32 g/cm³
FLOW RATE: 1.8-136 mT/hr
MATERIALS: Bulky, Low Density
LDM - LOW DENSITY APPLICATIONS
The CentriFlow LDM Solid Particle Mass Flow Meter measures large, bulky materials with very low bulk densities continuously in a process. The LDM model works well for measuring leafy materials like produce or tobacco leaves. It is also great for measuring low density materials down to 1 lb/ft3 like ground hay or even shredded plastic bags.
BWS - BUDGET APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 20-100 lb/ft³
FLOW RATE: 4-160 T/hr
MATERIALS: Granular Solids Only
APPLICATION SPECS
DENSITY: 0.32-1.6 g/cm³
FLOW RATE: 3.6-145 mT/hr
MATERIALS: Granular Solids Only
BWS - BUDGET APPLICATIONS
The CentriFlow BWS offers customers an economical and accurate gravimetric in-line mass flow meter that positions itself as an alternative to impact flow meters and belt scales. The CentriFlow BWS measures product dynamically, meaning that it measures product while it is moving through your process. The BWS is perfect for measuring granular solids such as grains, pellets, beans, wood chips or even pet food as well as free-flowing granular materials such as sand.
