Krohne introduces the Batchcontrol electromagnetic flowmeter for volumetric filling applications, aimed at batching and dosing of liquids and pastes in the pharmaceutical industry

Meter provides compact design, high reliability and accuracy in digital bus configuration for volumetric filling systems.

Krohne, the global technology leader in the development, manufacture and distribution of accurate, reliable and cost effective level and flow measurement products for the process industries, introduces the Batchcontrol electromagnetic flowmeter for volumetric filling applications.

The meter is ideal for the batching and dosing of electrically conductive liquids and pastes in the pharmaceutical industry as it features an integrated control module and CANopen based network communication.

The 3A certified Batchcontrol and its pulse output equivalent, Batchflux, has one of the smallest footprints in the industry, a compact design ideal for tight space requirements.

These meters include a unique ceramic liner to meet the demands of CIP (Cleaning in place) and SIP (Steaming in place) processes.

Enhancing accuracy, the ceramic liner ensures dimensional stability across the entire operational temperature range.

The electronics are completely potted to ensure integrity during washdown procedures.

The Batchcontrol offers the unique enhancement of serial bus communication.

Batchcontrol communicates via CANbus, a high-speed bus protocol for high-speed communication requirements, thereby greatly simplifying machine design with valve controls done from the Batchcontrol itself.
