The meters are ATEX certificated anddesigned to operate at temperatures of up to 100°C at pressures of up to 350 bar. The full range of TRICOR Coriolis mass flow meters offers a measuring accuracy of between+/-0.10% and +/-0.15%, even in long term operation and across a temperature range from -100 to+204°C depending on the meter selected. The mass flow rates that can be measured range between0-300 kg/hr and 0-65,000 kg/hr with density range up to 5,000 kg/m3. TRICOR Coriolis meters arerated up to 100, 200 and 350 bar. Versions will soon be available with sanitary 3A tri-clamp flanges.The TRICOR product line complements the range of flow meters built by Litre Meter. The companyoffers a broad range of metering technologies suitable for virtually every liquid, gas or steammeasurement application and has particular expertise in measuring low flow rates.www.litremeter.com38-41:Layout 1 18/10/13 11:20 Page 3Food & Drink International 41www.fdiforum.netBourne Prepared Produce use Micronics Clamp-OnFlow Measurement to keep track of a major costSupplying salad vegetables to national chains of supermarkets requires a large volume of water to effectivelywash the produce and it’s also essential to minimise chlorine dosing, so it’s vital that water usage is constantlymonitored. Lincolnshire-based Bourne Prepared Produce specialise in making and developing private label prepared foods,including tray salads for retail and foodservice. They were conscious of the need to reduce costs and 24 hourproduction meant they needed to be able to spot problems quickly. Furthermore they wanted to reduce their use ofchlorine for safety, economic and environmental reasons. To achieve this they established the need for a series of flow meters to measure the flow of water. They had been using Micronics meters and found them to be effective and reliable. They were impressed with the product performance of the non-invasive, clamp-on technology and the pre- and post-order assistance they had received from the company. When they established the need for further metering they had no hesitation in selecting 8 UF2000 clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters because they couldbe installed without the need to cut into existing pipe work. For further information on this project or the Micronics range call Micronics on +44(0)1628 810456, or visit www.micronicsflowmeters.com.One issue that has always been aproblem when dealing with pumps andfluids is that of maintenance. Hi-lineIndustries are among those companiesthat can now supply alternative filterelements as replacements for originalequipment fitments. Filter elements areconsumable wear parts that are essentialin providing the maximum protection todownstream equipment and productionprocesses, but damage can caused toequipment or production output if theybecome blocked with particulate orotherwise operate at high differentialpressures.The Hi-line elements are allmanufactured to ISO 8573-1:2010 with apleated media construction whichprovides a substantially larger filtrationarea than conventional wrapped or rolledmedia filters. In addition, they ensure lessoil carry-over, with longer service life andlower differential pressure. The largercross section filtration areas require amuch lower energy source duringoperation, and the Hi-line alternativefilter elements can also be less expensivethan original part replacements.Replacement filter elements can besupplied for a wide range of fluidapplications including compressed air,hydraulics, water, grease, gas andchemicals.Nowadays verification technology canensure that meters can be quickly verifiedand calibrated without interrupting theflow process and creating unnecessarydowntime, and the data revealed can begathered and downloaded digitally at thetouch of a button – allowing forcontinuous monitoring and improvement.The new breed of instrumentationtherefore allows for a more effectiveproduction process – both now and in thelong term.38-41:Layout 1 18/10/13 11:20 Page 442 Food & Drink Internationalwww.fdiforum.netINVALUABLE ADVICE FROM INDUSTRY SPECIALISTSMEET THE EXPERTFor all enquiries contact: sales@torishimaprojects.co.uk Call +44 (0)1373 858143 www.torishimaprojects.co.ukIn conjunction with our sister organisation, ICI Caldaie, ourunique, turnkey project delivery approach – whether youare upgrading, refurbishing or replacing your boiler and associated systems – guarantees peace ofmind in reducing your carbon and energycosts.
