Volumetric Filling using
Electromagnetic Flowmeters

From glass to PET bottles
The beverage industry is increasingly replac-
ing glass with PET bottles. The advantages of
PET bottles include their low weight, less
expensive transportation costs and practically
no breakage losses.
Advantages of
electromagnetic flowmeters:
G Linear, accurate, stable, reproducible
G Volumetric flow measurement
independent from viscosity and density
G No moving parts, no wear,
no maintenance
G Suitable for liquids containing solids
G Flush, in-line, no gaps, crevices, seals except for process connections
G Easy to clean, CIP/SIP capability (clean in place, steam in place)
PET bottles create the need for new filling methods
Each PET bottle, at precisely the same filling level, shows an individually different internal
volume. The conventional filling control method uses level switches, and can therefore not
ensure accurate filling volumes on PET bottles.
Volumetric filling is required for precise beverage volumes per PET bottle.
Volumetric filling using of electromagnetic flowmeters
Each individual PET bottle give to varying extents when filled with liquid. By filling to a set
level, each bottle will contain slightly differing quantities. In other words the internal volume
varies. With precise volumetric filling, hygienic design and outstanding CIP/SIP properties,
electromagnetic flowmeters created a revolution in filling technology and filling machine
design.
2 BATCHFLUX
BATCHFLUX 3
An electrically conductive fluid flows through an insulating tube with an inner diameter [D]
and through a constant magnetic field [B] (Fig.1)
A voltage [U] is induced in this fluid proportional to its mean flow velocity [v].
Thus: U = v x k x B x D
This signal voltage [U] is picked up by electrodes. Microprocessor-based electronics con-
verts this voltage into scaled pulses (e.g. 2 or 5 or 10 pulses per millilitre flowing through
the meter’s flow tube). This pulse rate is transmitted to a batch controller.
Volumetric filling process controlled by an
electromagnetic flowmeter:
The following example describes the design and application of an electromagnetic
flowmeter, BATCHFLUX. This type of flow meter has been specially developed for volumetric
filling machines in close co-operation with leading machine manufacturers.
A flowmeter is installed in the pipe from storage tank and to filling valve (Fig. 2). When
the valve opens, flow will start. The flowmeter generates scaled pulses per volume unit
(e.g. 2 pulses per each Millilitre) passing through its tube. The number of pulses is counted
by the batch controller. The total number of pulses precisely mirrors the volume in the
bottle. When the pre-set number of pulses – equivalent to the desired filling volume –
is reached, the batch controller will switch off the valve. Switching delays may be compen-
sated for by an overrun compensation in the batch controller.
In this way each bottle exactly receives the correct product volume.

Measuring principle
Reproducibility of filling process, stability:
Accuracy, reproducibility
Reproducibility of the filling process not only depends on the accuracy of the flowmeter,
but also on the reproducibility of the dynamic characteristics of the valves. Standard devia-
tion of the filled volumes with filling times of more than 3 seconds is usually ≤ 0.2%.
BATCHFLUX is supplied as standard calibrated to an accuracy of 0.2%.
Long term stability
PFA or PTFE linings commonly used on electromagnetic flowmeter flowtubes have high
thermal expansion coefficients and tend to creep. This may create changes in the diameter
D and subsequently influence accuracy. Steam diffusion through these liners may occasio-
nally cause meters to fail.
To avoid this, the BATCHFLUX flow tube is made of high purity/high density Al2O3 ceramics.
Ceramics have negligible thermal expansion coefficients and unsurpassed dimensional
stability, wide corrosion resistance, no measurable steam diffusion and full CIP/SIP capabi-
lity. It ceramic liner have proven themselves in more than 10 000 applications with acids,
caustics, and high temperatures before KROHNE decided to use it for BATCHFLUX.
Another component influencing stability is the electronic signal converter. The BATCHFLUX
signal converter makes use as much as possible of digital signal processing, which shows
no drift. Each individual unit is exposed to a temperature cycling test in full operation.
This proves and documents stability and eliminates early failures.

Hygienic design
Components, materials in contact with the product
The BATCHFLUX Al2O3 ceramic flow tube has a surface roughness of Ra <0.8 µm. The
measuring electrodes are made of an electrically conductive mixture of this hi-tech ceramic
material and platinum. This ceramic-metal compound (CERMET) electrode is sintered into
the flowtube (>1500°C/2700°F). Through this manufactory process tube and electrodes
connect completely hygienically without any gaps or crevices.
Gaskets, process connections to the filling line
The design of the flow tube and housing, with various optional screw hole patterns on the
flange faces, allows for easy and hygienic connection to the filling pipe (Fig. 3).
BATCHFLUX offers:
G A metall stop to maintain a defined pressure on the gasket
G A centring collar for precise centering of BATCHFLUX flowtube and filling pipes
G Precisely smooth surfaces and edges of the ceramic flowtube allow for a flush
connection
External protection
The BATCHFLUX stainless steel housing has IP 67 protection (temporarily submersible). The
only non-welded connection is the cover gasket. The housing is corrosion resistant against
all cleaning agents. Its shape makes sure that the cleanser runs off rapidly. The connector
housing is of stainless steel and welded to the meter body. This prevents breakage, leakage
and damage during connection of external cables.

Flowmeter BATCHFLUX
for volumetric filling
machines
Small, rugged and compact:
The dimensions of the flowmeter may influence – and improve – the total machine design.
The slim redesigned BATCHFLUX II with its width of only 50 mm (2”) and its small total
volume fits best into applications with limited space.
Modular design: Nearly no downtimes!
In case of an electronics failure there is no need for to removal of the total meter from the
machine and no need to open the pipes. The electronics can be easily replaced without
reprogramming or re-calibration. Just four steps: Open cover, pull out electronics module,
plug in the new module, close cover, and ready!
Low power consumption:
Often much more than 100 flowmeters are installed on one carousel type filling machine.
So low power consumption of a flowmeter saves costs in power supply hardware as well as
in cabling and space requirement. BATCHFLUX’s power consumption is only 3 W compared
to 10 W of classical electromagnetic flowmeters.
Digital interface allows for visualisation of the filling process dynamics:
The standard IMoCom = Internal Modular Communication interface allows for easy setting,
downloading and documentation of all operating data via a PC.
In addition, the entire filling process can be visualised and documented on a PC (Fig. 4)
through this interface, giving the operator a hitherto unavailable insight into the dynamics
of the system and the valve. The data can be used as a basis for design optimisation of
valve and filling system. In this way reproducibility, reliability can be enhanced considerably.

6 BATCHFLUX
BATCHFLUX application ranges:
BATCHFLUX comes with nominal diameters ranging from 2.5 mm (1/10”) up to 40 mm
(1.5”). This allows you to choose the best possible meter size for filling volumes from as
small as 20 millilitres for pharmaceutical products and as large as 50 liters and more
(e.g. for KEG-filling).
A version with an integrated intelligent batch controller was the final stages of develop-
ment when this brochure went to press. This will reduce the amount of external hardware
to a minimum.

Fundamentals of Volumetric Filling using Electromagnetic Flowmeters

  • 1. © KROHNE 05/2000 F31 VOLFI 01 E GR Fundamentals of Volumetric Filling using Electromagnetic Flowmeters 1st edition Dipl.-Ing. Friedrich Hofmann KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH & Co. KG Duisburg, 2000
  • 2. Volumetric Filling using Electromagnetic Flowmeters Friedrich Hofmann KROHNE Messtechnik, Duisburg, Germany From glass to PET bottles The beverage industry is increasingly replac- ing glass with PET bottles. The advantages of PET bottles include their low weight, less expensive transportation costs and practically no breakage losses. Advantages of electromagnetic flowmeters: G Linear, accurate, stable, reproducible G Volumetric flow measurement independent from viscosity and density G No moving parts, no wear, no maintenance G Suitable for liquids containing solids G Flush, in-line, no gaps, crevices, seals except for process connections G Easy to clean, CIP/SIP capability (clean in place, steam in place) PET bottles create the need for new filling methods Each PET bottle, at precisely the same filling level, shows an individually different internal volume. The conventional filling control method uses level switches, and can therefore not ensure accurate filling volumes on PET bottles. Volumetric filling is required for precise beverage volumes per PET bottle. Volumetric filling using of electromagnetic flowmeters Each individual PET bottle give to varying extents when filled with liquid. By filling to a set level, each bottle will contain slightly differing quantities. In other words the internal volume varies. With precise volumetric filling, hygienic design and outstanding CIP/SIP properties, electromagnetic flowmeters created a revolution in filling technology and filling machine design. 2 BATCHFLUX
  • 3. BATCHFLUX 3 An electrically conductive fluid flows through an insulating tube with an inner diameter [D] and through a constant magnetic field [B] (Fig.1) A voltage [U] is induced in this fluid proportional to its mean flow velocity [v]. Thus: U = v x k x B x D This signal voltage [U] is picked up by electrodes. Microprocessor-based electronics con- verts this voltage into scaled pulses (e.g. 2 or 5 or 10 pulses per millilitre flowing through the meter’s flow tube). This pulse rate is transmitted to a batch controller. Volumetric filling process controlled by an electromagnetic flowmeter: The following example describes the design and application of an electromagnetic flowmeter, BATCHFLUX. This type of flow meter has been specially developed for volumetric filling machines in close co-operation with leading machine manufacturers. A flowmeter is installed in the pipe from storage tank and to filling valve (Fig. 2). When the valve opens, flow will start. The flowmeter generates scaled pulses per volume unit (e.g. 2 pulses per each Millilitre) passing through its tube. The number of pulses is counted by the batch controller. The total number of pulses precisely mirrors the volume in the bottle. When the pre-set number of pulses – equivalent to the desired filling volume – is reached, the batch controller will switch off the valve. Switching delays may be compen- sated for by an overrun compensation in the batch controller. In this way each bottle exactly receives the correct product volume.

  • 4. Reproducibility of filling process, stability: Accuracy, reproducibility Reproducibility of the filling process not only depends on the accuracy of the flowmeter, but also on the reproducibility of the dynamic characteristics of the valves. Standard devia- tion of the filled volumes with filling times of more than 3 seconds is usually ≤ 0.2%. BATCHFLUX is supplied as standard calibrated to an accuracy of 0.2%. Long term stability PFA or PTFE linings commonly used on electromagnetic flowmeter flowtubes have high thermal expansion coefficients and tend to creep. This may create changes in the diameter D and subsequently influence accuracy. Steam diffusion through these liners may occasio- nally cause meters to fail. To avoid this, the BATCHFLUX flow tube is made of high purity/high density Al2O3 ceramics. Ceramics have negligible thermal expansion coefficients and unsurpassed dimensional stability, wide corrosion resistance, no measurable steam diffusion and full CIP/SIP capabi- lity. It ceramic liner have proven themselves in more than 10 000 applications with acids, caustics, and high temperatures before KROHNE decided to use it for BATCHFLUX. Another component influencing stability is the electronic signal converter. The BATCHFLUX signal converter makes use as much as possible of digital signal processing, which shows no drift. Each individual unit is exposed to a temperature cycling test in full operation. This proves and documents stability and eliminates early failures.

  • 5. BATCHFLUX 5 Hygienic design Components, materials in contact with the product The BATCHFLUX Al2O3 ceramic flow tube has a surface roughness of Ra <0.8 µm. The measuring electrodes are made of an electrically conductive mixture of this hi-tech ceramic material and platinum. This ceramic-metal compound (CERMET) electrode is sintered into the flowtube (>1500°C/2700°F). Through this manufactory process tube and electrodes connect completely hygienically without any gaps or crevices. Gaskets, process connections to the filling line The design of the flow tube and housing, with various optional screw hole patterns on the flange faces, allows for easy and hygienic connection to the filling pipe (Fig. 3). BATCHFLUX offers: G A metall stop to maintain a defined pressure on the gasket G A centring collar for precise centering of BATCHFLUX flowtube and filling pipes G Precisely smooth surfaces and edges of the ceramic flowtube allow for a flush connection External protection The BATCHFLUX stainless steel housing has IP 67 protection (temporarily submersible). The only non-welded connection is the cover gasket. The housing is corrosion resistant against all cleaning agents. Its shape makes sure that the cleanser runs off rapidly. The connector housing is of stainless steel and welded to the meter body. This prevents breakage, leakage and damage during connection of external cables. Low power consumption, only 3 W! Rapidly exchangeable calibrated electronics: Pull out, plug in, ready! No need for re-calibration or new settings! Duplex Stainless Steel Meter Body, fully welded: Hermetically tight! Rugged, corrosion resistant! Easy process connection: Flange faces with screw holes! Width 50 mm (2”) only: Easy integration even on small filling machines! Stainless steel connector housing welded to body: No risk of leakage, breakage, over- torquing! Optional purge air connector High purity aluminium Oxide ceramic flowtube: G CIP/SIP proof! G Long term stability, no drift! G Hygienically smooth! G Precisely defined pipe ends and centering collars allow for crevice free hygienic connec- tion to filling line Fig. 3: Flowmeter BATCHFLUX for volumetric filling machines
  • 6. Small, rugged and compact: The dimensions of the flowmeter may influence – and improve – the total machine design. The slim redesigned BATCHFLUX II with its width of only 50 mm (2”) and its small total volume fits best into applications with limited space. Modular design: Nearly no downtimes! In case of an electronics failure there is no need for to removal of the total meter from the machine and no need to open the pipes. The electronics can be easily replaced without reprogramming or re-calibration. Just four steps: Open cover, pull out electronics module, plug in the new module, close cover, and ready! Low power consumption: Often much more than 100 flowmeters are installed on one carousel type filling machine. So low power consumption of a flowmeter saves costs in power supply hardware as well as in cabling and space requirement. BATCHFLUX’s power consumption is only 3 W compared to 10 W of classical electromagnetic flowmeters. Digital interface allows for visualisation of the filling process dynamics: The standard IMoCom = Internal Modular Communication interface allows for easy setting, downloading and documentation of all operating data via a PC. In addition, the entire filling process can be visualised and documented on a PC (Fig. 4) through this interface, giving the operator a hitherto unavailable insight into the dynamics of the system and the valve. The data can be used as a basis for design optimisation of valve and filling system. In this way reproducibility, reliability can be enhanced considerably.

  • 7. BATCHFLUX application ranges: BATCHFLUX comes with nominal diameters ranging from 2.5 mm (1/10”) up to 40 mm (1.5”). This allows you to choose the best possible meter size for filling volumes from as small as 20 millilitres for pharmaceutical products and as large as 50 liters and more (e.g. for KEG-filling). A version with an integrated intelligent batch controller was the final stages of develop- ment when this brochure went to press. This will reduce the amount of external hardware to a minimum.
