HM Turbine Flow Meter

The HM Turbine Flow Meter offers unparalleled precision and reliability, specifically engineered for demanding sanitary applications within the food, beverage, and dairy industries. Unlike standard industrial meters, the HM-series is meticulously designed to meet stringent sanitary requirements, providing accurate measurement solutions where hygiene, durability, and precision are critical. Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials, the HM Turbine Flow Meter accurately measures fluids such as vinegar, brine, de-ionized water, and various other challenging liquids.

Its innovative turbine measurement mechanism, combined with a complete 316 stainless steel construction (including the rotor), ensures consistent performance, reduced maintenance, and optimal operational longevity even in harsh environments. Designed specifically for wash-down and sanitary conditions, the HM-series is uniquely suited to handle rigorous cleaning procedures and frequent exposure to aggressive fluids.

Core Advantages and Unique Attributes

Sanitary Design with High Durability

The HM Turbine Flow Meter incorporates an all-316 stainless steel body and rotor, or optionally a 17/4 PH rotor, ensuring maximum resistance to corrosion and chemical interactions. This robust construction provides exceptional durability against challenging fluids, such as brine solutions, acids, vinegar solutions, and de-ionized water, maintaining consistent performance over time.

Compact and Hygienic Construction

Featuring an IP 66-rated enclosure, the HM-series flow meter is fully capable of withstanding direct wash-down environments, essential in food processing facilities. The compact, mobile design makes installation and relocation simple, fitting into various industrial setups with minimal space requirements.

Advanced Electronics with Moisture Protection

With electronics and batteries well-protected against moisture ingress, the HM-series ensures reliable functionality even in wet or humid environments. This robust protection prolongs meter lifespan and helps maintain accuracy and consistency in measurement readings, even under challenging environmental conditions.

High-Quality Stainless Steel Components

The flow meter is constructed entirely from 316 Stainless Steel, including both body and rotor, making it highly resistant to corrosion and chemical attack. This ensures longevity and consistently accurate measurements, reducing downtime and maintenance frequency. An optional rotor construction using 17/4 PH stainless steel further enhances operational resilience.

Versatile Flow Rate Options

The HM-series accommodates multiple flow rate ranges to fit different operational requirements:

• HM-100: 7-70 GPM
• HM-150: 13-130 GPM
• HM-200: 25-200 GPM

This range allows easy adaptability to diverse applications, from small-scale batch processes to large-scale industrial production.
