ES-FLOW Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Liquids

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ES-FLOW™ is an innovative ultrasonic flow meter/controller designed for low flow rates of liquids, ranging from 2 to 1500 ml/min. It offers high precision, linearity, and low pressure drop, independent of fluid density, temperature, and viscosity.
Key Features:
  • Direct volume flow measurement independent of fluid properties.
  • Hygienic design with IP67 rating, CIP cleanable, and self-drainable.
  • Compact, easy to install, with integrated digital PID controller for accurate flow or batch delivery.
  • Fast response time and excellent repeatability.
  • Bi-directional measurement and integrated counter/totalizer functions.
Improved ES-FLOW™ Mk II: The Mk II version offers enhanced performance, hygienic design, and accuracy. It is available in two versions: ES-103I for hygienic applications and ES-113I for other areas.
Applications: Suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, the ES-FLOW™ can measure/control natural additives, solvents, carbonated liquids, and more. It is also applicable in chemical surface treatment and miscellaneous industries.
Technical Specifications:
  • Flow range: 2 to 1500 ml/min.
  • Volume flow accuracy: ≤ ±0.8% Rd.
  • Zero stability: ≤ ±0.4 ml/min.
  • Response time: < 50 msec.
  • Fluid temperature range: -10 to 90 °C.
  • Material: Stainless steel 316L with surface quality ≤ 0.8 μm.
Electrical Properties: The device supports various digital communications including RS232, DeviceNet™, CANopen®, PROFIBUS DP, Modbus, and more. It requires a power supply of +15 to 24 Vdc.
Benefits: The ES-FLOW™ offers reduced downtime with no recalibration required after fluid change, making it a cost-effective solution for precise liquid flow measurement and control.
Application Example: In candy production, the ES-FLOW™ improves dosing accuracy for additives, enhancing quality control and reducing waste.

ES-FLOW Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Liquids-2

> Ultrasonic flow meter for low flow rates The innovative ES-FLOW™ Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter/Controller is designed for measuring volume flow ranges between 2-1500 ml/min with high precision, high linearity and low pressure drop using Ultrasonic Wave Technology in a small bore tube. Liquids can be measured independent of fluid density, temperature and viscosity. Therefore, recalibration per fluid is unnecessary as the instrument is able to detect the actual speed of sound of the measured liquid. With these features the ES-FLOW™ has many similarities with our Coriolis technology based instruments,...

Hygienic Flow Controller for the Food & Beverage Market The integrated PID controller can be used to drive a control valve or pump, enabling users to establish a complete and compact control loop. In this application example the ES-FLOW™ is controlling a hygienic and 3-A authorized GEMÜ pneumatically operated diaphragm valve at a flowrate of 900 ml/min. This combination makes an excellent hygienic flow controller for a wide range of applications within the Food & Beverage market. This design is also very interesting for the process industry with challenging liquids (e.g. particles) as the risk...

ES-FLOW Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Liquids-5

Application example for candy production During the manufacturing of candy, additives such as colourings, flavourings and acids have to be added to a main stream. The latter is a hot, viscous mass that usually consists of water, sugar and glucose syrup. By using our ultrasonic volume flow meters, the dosing accuracy will be improved, and so is the quality control of the manufacturing process. The below solution consists of 4 ES-FLOW™ ultrasonic flow meters. One is used to measure the main flowrate as the other instruments measure/ control the flow of colouring, flavouring and acid. As these fluids...
