A Solid Mass Flow Meter continuously measures the mass flow rate (tons/hour or kg/hour) of dry bulk solids such as coal, limestone, fly ash, clinker, grain, or powder—moving through a conveyor, chute, Screw, Bucket Elevator etc.
Depending on design, solid mass flow meters operate on one of the following principles: Material strikes a deflection plate, the resulting force measured using a load cell. Common in gravity-fed chutes. Accuracy of the system +/-1% of rated capacity.
