Milltronics A Series Solids Flowmeters Milltronics A Series solids flowmeters dust collector port are heavy-duty low- to medium- capacity flowmeters for light density material powders conveyed by aerated gravity infeed conveyors. The A-40 flowmeter is equipped with an flowguide ILE-37 sensing head and is suitable for housing (cabinet) material flowrates up to 40 t/h (44 baffle...

Installation Location Install Milltronics A Series solids flowmeter in an area that is suitable for the system approval rating. Maintain sufficient clearance to permit: opening the housing door for sensing plate access and removing the sensing head rear cover for calibration purposes. Position the flowmeter into the desired location.
Applications For best performance and limited maintenance requirements, keep in mind Note: material compatibility and flow patterns. Materials Material characteristics for best results: • low cohesion (flows well in aerated state, similar to a liquid) • low adhesion (does not stick to surfaces) •...
If material sticks to the sensing plate, incorporate a program to ensure that the impingement area remains clean. If sticking persists, contact your Siemens Milltronics representative. Check for wearing of the sensing plate. If wear is excessive, contact your Siemens Milltronics representative. Unit Repair and Excluded Liability All changes and repairs must be done by qualified personnel and applicable safety regulations must be followed.
