Solids Flow Meters
Our CentriFlow meters provide accurate, maintenance-free measurement of bulk solids using patented centripetal force technology. These systems offer 0.25% accuracy for granular materials and powders in industries like agriculture and chemical processing. Custom configurations handle diverse materials from wood pellets to pharmaceutical powders.
Air Flow Measurement
VAP pitot tubes and High Beta conditioners deliver precise air flow measurement in challenging environments. Solutions include heated pitots for cold climates and multivariable transmitters for differential pressure-based gas flow calculations in power plants and industrial facilities.
System Integration
We engineer complete flow control systems combining measurement devices with automation for applications like railcar loading and recipe blending. Our systems reduce waste through real-time flow control and data integration with existing process management platforms.
Engineering Services
Custom engineering covers product modification to full system design, including CFD modeling and thermal analysis. Our team develops tailored solutions for unique flow challenges in biomass combustion, material handling, and industrial process optimization.
Product Testing
Our facility replicates customer environments for pre-deployment testing of solids and air flow systems. This includes material flowability analysis, accuracy verification, and performance validation under operational conditions to ensure measurement reliability before installation.
