The optimum solids flowmeter scale for every field of application: under the name Milltronics, we offer you the appropriate low-maintenance solids flowmeter for every application involving the continuous measurement of the throughput of free-flowing bulk materials, powders and granulates. The systems make a contribution toward optimization of your processes.
Milltronics E, V, and A Series
Solids Flowmeters
Milltronics E, V, and A Series are low- to medium-capacity flowmeters for various product sizes, densities, and fluidities.
With weighing mechanics located externally, the E, V, and A Series solids flowmeters are unaffected by corrosive, abrasive, or hot materials. Handling a wide range of product sizes, densities, and fluidities including fine powders such as cement, they operate at process temperatures to +230 °C (+450 °F). The flowmeters help to improve final product, increase operating efficiency, and realize significant cost savings.
Operating with the appropriate ILE sensing head and a microprocessor-based integrator package, the E, V, and A Series flowmeters provide a display of the flow rate, totalized flow, and alarms. Outputs are 0/4 to 20 mA proportional to rate, and open collector output for remote totalization.
Dry bulk solids enter the flow guide producing a mechanical deflection as they strike the flowmeter sensing plate before continuing through the process unhindered. The LVDT in the sensing head converts the deflection of the horizontal force into an electrical signal. The integrator processes this signal into a display of flowrate and integrated total weight. The weighing process is immune to the effect of product build-up as only the horizontal force is measured.
E Series flowmeters are totally enclosed, with external weighing mechanics, operating with corrosive, abrasive or hot materials. The A Series operates with aerated gravity conveyors, and includes integral vents and baffles for air separation. For applications with little available headroom, the V Series flowmeters provide the answer
| Series | Typical Application |
| E | General purpose for most pre-feed applications |
| V | Designed for applications requiring a compact construction |
| A | Suitable for flowrate measurements downstream of an aerated gravity conveyor |

Sensing Heads Milltronics ILE
Solids Flowmeters
Milltronics ILE-37 and ILE-61 Sensing Heads are out-of-the-process sensing elements for series E, V, and A solids flowmeters.
Milltronics ILE-37 and ILE-61 Sensing Heads are used in applications such as product ratioing, batch load-out, and process feed rate control, the ILE series of sensing heads has been field proven in thousands of applications with some units providing over a quarter century of reliable performance.
The ILE sensing heads use only the horizontal force created by impact of product upon the sensing plate and then apply the horizontal deflection to a highly reliable Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT).
Friction-less pivots exclude the vertical force from the sensing process and the LVDT travel range is controlled by a coil spring selected for the specified full-scale flow rate. A viscous fluid damper provides mechanical damping in the event of pulsating flows.
The LVDT converts the horizontal movement, proportional to the impact forces into an electrical signal, which is converted by the integrator to time-based flow rate indication and totalling. This method of sensing material flow has been proven best in thousands of applications all over the world.
