The second generation Solidflow is a new and improved mass flow measurement system developed for solids that are pneumatically conveyed or in free-fall condition. Using the latest microwave technology, a measuring field is created in a metallic pipe. The microwave energy is reflected by the particles and received by the sensor. This energy is evaluated by frequency and amplitude. The selective frequency used allows the sensor to only evaluate moving particles. Because of this, build-up and deposits are ignored. The Solidflow is typically mounted 1-2 feet below a rotary valve or screw feeder. It is easy to install and calibrate, and can measure powders, granulates, wood chips, pulverized coal, etc. The unit has been upgraded with the latest microprocessor with x100 processing power. This allows for high performance in dilute-phase pneumatic conditions that produce roping and other unwanted flow characteristics.
