Product catalog summary
Application Scope of Use
The MF 3000 is designed for continuous mass flow measurement of bulk materials in metallic pipes under pneumatic or free fall conditions. It is suitable for a wide range of industries including automotive, chemical, food, and pharmaceuticals, among others. The device offers a cost-effective, easy-to-install, and maintenance-free alternative to traditional measurement devices like belt scales and impact plates.

Main Benefits
- Provides continuous real-time mass flow data.
- Simple installation without impacting material flow.
- Contact-free and maintenance-free operation.
- High resistance to abrasion and reliable long-term results.

Function
The MF 3000 uses a microwave field to measure mass flow. Particles passing through the field reflect microwaves, altering their frequency and amplitude, which allows for the calculation of speed and quantity. The device is accurate to within 1% and is unaffected by temperature, moisture, or static charge changes.

Installation and Commissioning
For accurate measurements, the sensor should be installed where particles are evenly distributed, ideally in vertical pneumatic pipelines or freefall applications. Calibration is crucial, with up to 24 calibration curves available for different materials. The device includes various outputs for data integration and monitoring.

Technical Specifications
- Suitable for grain sizes from 1 nm to 20 mm and pipe diameters up to 300 mm.
- Operates within a temperature range of -10°C to +70°C and process temperatures up to +450°C with high temp options.
- Offers a protection class of IP65 and is available with ATEX options for hazardous areas.
- Provides multiple output options including analog, relay, pulse, USB, and RS485 with MODBUS protocol.

Robust and Stable Design
The MF 3000 is built for durability, with sealed sensors tested under extreme conditions. It features no moving parts and optional Teflon or ceramic sensor surfaces to minimize wear.

Successful Installations
The device has been successfully used in various applications, including lime, plastic granulate, coal dust, and more.

MassFlow MF 3000-1

I Your safe choice Many bulk material applications require a continuous measurement of the mass flow, e.g. for exact dosing of a material or to evaluate the flow into or out of a storage bin. However, typical measurement devices like belt scales, impact plates or bulk scales can be costly, difficult to install and need high maintenance. The mass flow measurement MF 3000 is a unique alternative. It is designed for flow measurement in metallic pipes under pneumatic or free fall conditions. It works contact- and maintenance-free, is easy to retrofit and works with all kind of powder, dust, granules, pellets and threads.
