Traditional way of dosing additives
Additives are often added in a traditional way by using needle valves. Using needle valves is inexpensive, but always has a risk on malfunction. Because of pressure- and temperature fluctuations which can occur in the process. For some additives, like plasticizers, a precise dosing of additives is very important as these are directly absorbed by human beings or accumulate in the food chain.
Precise dosing with Coriolis flow meters
Precise dosing is possible if you use the Bronkhorst
Coriolis flow meters. These flow meters have an integrated dosing technology to ensure an accurate and reproducible dosing of liquids. If you combine these ‘
mini CORI-FLOW’ flow meters with a pump or a suitable valve, fluids can be dosed continuously or as a batch with high reproducibility. These systems can be integrated or used as an add-on in already existing processes and production lines.
