Original Press Release:


Bulk Product Flow Meter Added To Key Product Line


Key Technology introduces the CentriFlow* Mass Flow Meter, which continuously and precisely measures the weight of flowable bulk solid products, such as snack foods, vegetables, cereal, and pet food, and reports flow rate or totalized data to a plant control system. The CentriFlow offers numerous advantages over traditional weigh belts and impact meters, including increased accuracy, no drift, less maintenance, smaller footprint, and easy installation. The product is currently available in North America only.

As part of Key Technology's product line, CentriFlow is a perfect complement to Iso-Flo® Vibratory Distribution Systems, which transport product while often providing other functions including grading, alignment, and feeding. CentriFlow's unique combination of transport and weighing functions allows processing to continue without disruption common with batch weighing systems, and similarly to Iso-Flo, becomes a process system as opposed to a stand-alone unit.

CentriFlow is accurate within 0.25% and is unaffected by material density changes or flow pulsation. The meter is virtually maintenance free, has no moving parts, and does not require repeated calibration.

Installation and set up are easy with no recalibration required for different products. The meter is reliable for bulk filling systems, seasoning applications, liquid coating feedback, or inventory measurement applications.

CentriFlow handles products with bulk densities from 1-100 lbs/ft³, and flow rates ranging between 0.7-60 ft³/minute. Available in five widths, the meter provides a choice of outputs including flow, totalized, analog, and digital.
