The sanitary flow meter is a specialized flow measurement instrument designed to meet the high hygiene standards of industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. In the food and beverage industry, stringent quality standards and demanding operating conditions are essential to ensure product quality and consumer safety. The sensors used must withstand various media, high temperatures, temperature fluctuations, and frequent cleaning to ensure smooth operation and process reliability.

Flow meters with high protection ratings not only guarantee the integrity of the production process and product quality but also serve as vital tools for optimizing production. ARTang has launched the Aimag H sanitary flow meter, which achieves significant technological breakthroughs compared to traditional electromagnetic flow meters, greatly enhancing user experience. Its large screen display and LED ring indicator provide intuitive visual feedback on critical data and device status. The all-stainless-steel housing design enhances durability and corrosion resistance, making it easy to clean and compliant with food-grade hygiene standards. The introduction of a Chinese interface significantly simplifies operation, while the streamlined wiring design reduces intrusion points, making installation and maintenance easier.

Exceptional Performance for Extreme Environments

The Aimag H sanitary flow meter can monitor key process data in real time, including instantaneous flow, cumulative flow, temperature, and conductivity. It also detects the presence of media (i.e., empty pipe detection) and provides early indications for partially filled pipelines, empowering users to intuitively control production dynamics. It operates continuously in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 150°C, making it suitable for demanding processes such as pasteurization. It performs reliably in high-intensity environments with vibration, shock, and pressure peaks. With an IP69K protection rating, it is effectively waterproof and dustproof. The no-disassembly cover design enhances sealing performance, allowing it to withstand high-pressure cleaning and extreme humidity. It supports IO-Link, 4-20 mA, switch signals, and pulse output, seamlessly integrating into digital production networks for remote parameter setting and data acquisition, enabling precise process control.

Sanitary Flow Meter Custom-Designed for the Food & Beverage Industry

High-precision process data monitoring ensures consistency and quality in critical stages such as mixing and packaging. The all-stainless-steel construction and integrated capacitive touch buttons eliminate hygiene dead zones, making it resistant to contamination and easy to clean, meeting food-grade hygiene standards. It is suitable for the production processes of liquid foods such as milk, juice, soft drinks, yogurt, beer, and wine, as well as for monitoring CIP cleaning solutions. In dairy production, the Aimag H sanitary flow meter accurately monitors milk flow changes, ensuring the efficiency and consistency of pasteurization and packaging processes. In beer brewing, its innovative design with no mechanical components provides a more reliable solution for measuring media such as hot water, wort, and beer. In wine production, the flow meter's high hygiene standards and precise monitoring capabilities help optimize production processes and maintain consistent quality.

Sanitary Flow Meter of Application Examples

Since its launch, ARTang's Aimag H sanitary flow meter has been widely adopted across various industries, meeting the market's demand for efficient and hygienic flow measurement solutions. With its precision and reliability, this flow meter has played a crucial role in the food and beverage industry, helping users improve product quality and equipment efficiency.

For example, in the production lines of Genki Forest Food Technology Group Co., Ltd., the Aimag H sanitary flow meter is used to precisely mix juice, water, and sugar, ensuring accurate conductivity and sugar addition. Before juice supply, the mixture is heated to 90°C and maintained for 20 seconds via a heat exchanger in an instant sterilizer to ensure quality and shelf life. The Aimag H electromagnetic flow meter monitors the flow during this process and ensures the medium reaches the required temperature.
