No matter what industry you’re in,
Max Flow Meters pay for themselves
MAX METERS PREFERRED FOR PRECISE ADDITIVE APPLICATIONS
The wide range-ability and low flow accuracy features of MAX-Meters make them the leading choice for measuring on-line, liquid additive applications. The application profile is wide and varied, involving industries as diverse as facial tissue, cosmetics, petrochemical and aluminum.
The common theme of all of the MAX additive applications is that a relatively small amount of fluid material is added or blended into the main product stream. Since the additive component changes or adds certain desirable characteristics to the final product, the formulation must be precise. Further, since this formulation is done "on-the-fly" and not through batch processing; final product quality is dependent on high resolution, repeatability and accurate metering over the entire operating range.
MAX Equipment Specified: The MAX-213 and MAX-214 flow meters have small displacements which greatly boost the number of pulses per dose or milliliter. This degree of resolution gives the operator the ability to precisely dose the liquid into the process or fine tune flow rates and alarm limits to perfect the closed-loop flow control.
APPLICATION PROFILE:
•Water Treatment - A polymer additive prevents salt formation/membrane filter damage (City of Cape Coral).
•Petrochemical - Feedstocks (Shell), Friction Reducer (Conoco), Lube Oil Blends (Mobil, Chevron), Gasoline Additives (Mobil, Chevron, Texaco), Corrosion Inhibitors (ANR Pipeline).
•Cosmetics - Perfumed Products (Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson).
•Aluminum Can Manufacturing - A mold release agent (light oil) is applied to prevent damage to cans during the shaping process (Alcoa, Miller Brewing).
•Wood Products - Glue in particle board (Dow Chemical).
•Adhesives - Pigments & Coatings (H.B. Fuller).
•Plastics Processing - Flame Retardants, Blowing Agents (Foamex).
•General Chemical - Catalysts (DuPont, Hercules).
The fact is the MAX-213 and MAX-214 flow meters are uniquely suited to monitor and control additive flow rates. In this age of specialty chemicals, this presents an ever widening marketplace for MAX Meters.
