Batchflux meter chosen for animal feed dosing

Krohne has supplied the Batchflux 5015C meter to Northampton-based Anitox, a manufacturer of antimicrobial preservatives for animal feeds and other food stuffs for human consumption.

Richard York, chief engineer at Anitox, said: 'We have these particular anti-bacterial dosing systems for animal feed stuffs installed at our customer's plants around the world.

'The plants run 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, so it is imperative that the components we use within our systems are reliable and provide faultless performance and repeatability.

'We selected the Batchflux 5015C, as it has a high-tech ceramic liner which guarantees extreme long-term stability.

'The device is also renowned for reliability and accuracy and built using solid-state devices, meaning there are no moving parts.

'The initial purchase price was slightly more, but when you consider the downtime, service and replacement parts, this is proving to be a much better solution and much more cost-effective when calculating the life time costs.'.
