MF3000 Mass flow measurement for bulk materials

Our solid flow meter MF 3000 is designed for flow measurement in metallic pipes from a few kg/h to many t/h. The system is suitable for on-line measurements of powders, dusts, pellets, and granules from 1 nm up to 2 cm in pneumatic or free fall conditions.
The measurement principle of the MF 3000 is based on the physical Doppler-Effect, whereas the sensor generates a uniform field in the microwave frequency range inside the pipe. These microwaves are being reflected by particles passing through the pipe. Calculation of frequency and amplitude changes allows for accurate determination of solid flow. Non-moving particles like dust accumulation are excluded from the calculation.

Installation is simple and cost‑effective using a welded branch, allowing the sensor to be mounted flush with the inside of the pipe for accurate measurement. The sensor connects to a DIN‑rail‑mounted transmitter that supports 4–20 mA, RS‑232, and RS‑485 outputs, ensuring easy integration with modern control systems. Calibration is straightforward with the MF‑SMART software, which uses a reference flow value to achieve fast, reliable setup and long‑term measurement stability.
