Toshiba Electromagnetic Flow Meters

Toshiba Electromagnetic Flow Meters

The Electromagnetic Flow Meter does not require much upstream and downstream straight run so it can be installed in relatively short meter runs.

Electromagnetic Flow Meters

Toshiba’s electromagnetic flow meters are ideal for industries such as power generation, HVAC, water/wastewater treatment, pulp & paper, metals, and food & beverage. Magnetic flowmeters measure the velocity of conductive liquids in pipes, such as water, acids, caustic, and slurries. Magnetic flowmeters can measure properly when the electrical conductivity of the liquid is greater than approximately 5μS/cm. All Toshiba electromagnetic flow meters are backed by a 10-year warranty.

Food & Beverage Industry Pumps by Roper Pumps

Food & Beverage Industry Pumps by Roper Pumps

Roper PumpsRoper Pumps proudly provides the craft brewing, chocolate, rendering, aluminum can manufacturing, and Honey & Molasses / Liquid Feed industries with top quality pumps.

 

Chocolate

3600 Series Chocolate PumpRoper pumps have been used in the chocolate industry for decades throughout the world. The simplistic versatility of the 3600 series pump offers a multitude of modifications to fit in a variety of chocolate applications varying from sugar solutions to chocolate liqueurs. Optional heated jackets maintains your chocolate to your system temperatures.

Rendering

Coined as one of the dirtiest jobs in the world; rendering solves what would be a major disposal problem.  At Roper Pumps, we have been providing innovative solutions to some of the toughest applications in the rendering industry.  For the transfer of lard, tallow, blood, yellow grease, or slurries; we can provide a durable and reliable solution to keep the rendering process up and running.

Aluminum Can Manufacturing

Roper Pumps have been incorporated into lacquer injection systems for can manufacturing since 1958.

The 2001 type 10 is the latest and best pump for this process. Fitted with a proprietary double mechanical seal, the 2001 can withstand pressures up to 1200 PSI while pumping up to 5 GPM.

Honey & Molasses / Liquid Feed

Honey & Molasses / Liquid Feed Pump

Honey, molasses, and liquid feed are three highly viscous and abrasive liquids. Not just any pump can handle these thixotropic fluids, but Roper has developed pumps to fit various applications in this industry. From manufacturing to distribution you can count on the 2835 or 3600 pump to get the job done no matter how large or small the job.

 

Contact-free indirect measurement for hygienic applications

The non-contact mode of measurement is very interesting for hygienic applications in the food-, pharmaceutical- and cosmetics industry, as well as for industrial applications with thick, adhesive and solid containing liquids. Experience has shown that conventional volumetric flow meters quickly come to their limit, while other measuring procedures are often very complex and/or are not suitable for mobile use.

The non-contact mode of measurement with impulse sensor is a reliable and economic option. Here is the measurement effected – hygienically and free from wear – without direct contact with the liquid being pumped.

lutz-sensor lutz-sensor-2

Principle
According to the rotating positive displacement principle the characteristic curve of an eccentric screw type pump is nearly linear. It is therefore possible to determine the pumped liquid amount by means of the number of shaft rotations. With a variance of +/- 1 impulse per measuring process the reproduction accuracy is very high, as long as the system factors e.g. viscosity, pressure, hose diameter, temperature and flow are steady. According to the demand of precision and abrasiveness of the medium the calibration factor must be temporarily adjusted to the wear of the pump hydraulic system. When using a motor with integrated frequency converter the flow capacity of the pump can be individually adjusted to the respective application conditions.

Function
An impulse transmitter transfers magnetic impulses of the rotating motor shaft contact-free to the impulse sensor. The measured impulses are evaluated in the Lutz operating unit BE10 and are read out by means of the determined calibration factor as transferred flow quantity via the display. By adding the relay module RM10 and respective connecting cables the system also can be used as filling station with volume pre-selection (batch function) – as known from the modular Lutz flow meters. Optionally the reed-impulses also can be evaluated via evaluation units provided by the customer and an external control.

Construction
Hygienic aspects and specific demands were considered on construction by which the system partially considerably differs from  competitive solutions:

  • Compact and easy to handle unit for a maximum mobility
  • All current- & data-carrying elements at the motor-/lifting device unit
  • Pump tube detachable from motor-/lifting device by means of quick-action coupling
  • Pump tube without electronic components enables a thorough cleaning and disinfection also by water jet or in cleaning machines
  • Easy handling and control via the Lutz operating unit with touchscreen display and menu navigation in plain text
  • Can be combined with relay module RM10 and other modules of the Lutz flow meter programme
  • Lutz eccentric screw pumps B70V-D which are currently used can be economically retrofitted
