Page 5: Milltronics Millflo Solids Flowmeter
Milltronics Millflo Solids Flowmeter The Milltronics Millflo solids flowmeter is a low to medium-capacity flowmeter for various product sizes, densities, and fluidities in restricted spaces. This low-cost compact unit improves processing, increases operating efficiency, and helps provide significant cost savings. -

Page 8: Operation
(force) The displacement of the load cell is sensed by its strain vertical gauges. These convert the excitation signal from the electronic integrator to produce a signal proportional to material flow. Page 4 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985CS01... -

Page 10: Installation
Preparation Prepare the site in accordance to the Siemens Milltronics drawing(s) provided. If no drawings were provided or if there is confusion or doubt as to the Milltronics Millflo’s installation, please consult your Siemens Milltronics representative. When unpacking the Millflo, avoid subjecting the unit to mechanical shock. Excessive mechanical shock can cause damage to the housing or load cell/sensing plate assembly. -
Page 11: Disassembly
Turn the two opposing sensing plate locking nuts toward the sensing plate, maintaining the sensing plate in its static position. Tighten nuts to secure sensing plate. 7ML19985CS01 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 7... -
Page 12: Installation
Exercise caution while handling the load cell/sensing plate Load Cell Handling assembly. Refer to the diagrams in the section on page 6. Wire the unit in accordance with Siemens Milltronics supplied connection diagrams or as described in the integrator instruction manual. (3) infeed pipe mounting hardware... -

Page 15: Calibration
Test Rate may be factored to obtain an optimum value which should lie in the range of 50% to 100% of the Design Rate. The Test Rate should never exceed 100% of the Design Rate. 7ML19985CS01 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 11... - Page 16 Following that, a recalibration of the zero and span can be performed using the old test weight and test rate. New material tests will not be required. Page 12 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985CS01...

Page 17: Applications
A larger loadcell compensates for slight to moderate material pulsing at greater than 1 pulse per second. If heavily pulsing feeder discharges at less than 1 pulse per second, consult Siemens Milltronics or your local distributor. • Use a flowmeter discharge chute suitable so that material cannot backup into the flowmeter housing. - Page 18 • A reverse flowguide transition (and/or material baffle discharge baffle) is often required for variable belt speeds or constant speeds in excess of 1 m/s (200 feet/minute).

Page 19: Flowmeter In-Feed Chutes
• This transition is acceptable for a low and constant velocity feeder. • To use a forward flowguide transition for a high or variable speed feeder application, install a baffle plate. 7ML19985CS01 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 15... - Page 20 • Deadboxes conditions: • high feeder discharge velocity • variable discharge • abrasive material • Locate deadboxes where long-fall chute angles change. Page 16 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985CS01...
- Page 21 Refer to the following chart to ensure the flowguide capacity is suitable. Note: If the material bulk density and flowrate is near a Millflo infeed diameter upper limit, choose the next largest diameter. 7ML19985CS01 Milltronics Millflo – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 17...

Page 22: Maintenance
Check for material bridging across the load cell or sensing plate to the housing which can restrict the free movement of either component. Do not strike the flowmeter, its components, or adjacent piping to dislodge material. Check for wearing of the sensing plate. If wear is excessive contact your Siemens Milltronics representative. Spare Parts The following are the recommended spare parts. - Page 24 Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc. Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc. 2003 1954Technology Drive, P .O.
