Operating Instructions, 08/2021, A5E51108132-AA

• reverse flowguide transition reverses direction of the bin or

feeder material discharge before the material enters the

flowmeter flowguide

• reversing direction forces the material into a desirable flow

pattern rather than permitting material to be flung from the

feeder, directly into the flowguide

• transition is especially important for high or variable speed

feeders

• forward flowguide transition maintains the material in the

same direction between the bin or feeder discharge and the

flowmeter flowguide

• transition is acceptable for a low and constant velocity feeder

• if a forward flowguide transition must be used for a high or

variable speed feeder application, install a baffle plate

• material in-feed chute where the bin or feeder discharge to

flowmeter flowguide fall is less than 0.6 m (2 ft)

• material velocity due to gravity minimized

• chute centreline and angle should coincide with that of the

flowguide, for a distance greater than or equal to the

flowguide diameter (before the flowguide inlet)
