CENTRIFLOW STANDARD CFM: TYPE I METER

The CFM Type I Standard Meter is exceedingly versatile and can be utilized for nearly any application requiring a mass flow measurement in which the product is being fed in a horizontal direction. The CFM Type I Standard Meter is perfect for large products such as tortilla chips or cereals, as well as smaller, more granular products such as pellets or grains. Type I CentriFlow Meters, can be mounted in either the Reverse or the In-Line Flow orientation. While both orientations of the meter are mechanically identical, when oriented in the In-Line orientation, the meter can be tilted backwards (up to 20 Degrees) in order to facilitate the movement of product through the meter. In addition, a transition (pictured below) is often needed in order to move product from the feed device to the meter. The transition can be supplied by Eastern Instruments or by a third party as well.

The CentriFlow Type I Meter, just as all CentriFlow brand meters, is a mass flow meter designed for measuring bulk solids continuously within a process. The Type I Meter is perfect for measuring free-flowing and even larger particle materials such as granules, pellets or snack foods like tortilla chips. It is specifically designed to be installed directly after feed devices such as belts or vibratory conveyors. In the In Line Orientation, product will flow off of the belt, over a transition and through the CentriFlow Meter which will be tilted backwards at up to 20 degrees. The product will then, continue flowing in its original direction.
