The OPTIFLUX 7300 combines the advantages of non-wetted capacitive electrodes, a ceramic liner, and the IFC 300 converter. This electromagnetic flow meter can be used for noisy applications, low conductivities, mediums tending to form an insulating film, applications with high vibrations, and oxidizing, abrasive, and toxic mediums .

Instead of conventional electrodes that have direct contact with the process liquid, OPTIFLUX 7300 has a non-contacting capacitive signal pick-up. The electrodes are designed as large-area capacitor plates, mounted behind the ceramic liner. Because the electrodes have no contact with the medium, unwanted catalytic action with metallic parts is eliminated. The insulation of electrodes no longer forms a risk, and signal pick-up is not interrupted by non-conductive surface coatings .

The smooth and pore-free ceramic tube construction does not leak and is CIP/SIP resistant, making it highly suitable for hygienic applications in food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. It is very hard, non-permeable, and has extreme and broad chemical resistance, fulfilling requirements of the chemical industry. The construction offers an absolutely leak-tight solution with no metals in contact with the medium .

The IFC 300 converter includes extensive diagnostics of the process and meter and powerful filter settings for stable flow measurements. The meter measures low conductivities down to 0.05 µS/cm and is fully vacuum resistant. Industries include chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, paper & pulp, wastewater, machine building, and primaries. Applications include toxic, aggressive, and abrasive mediums; emulsions; adhesives; low conductive mediums such as alcohols and glycols; abrasive slurries; fibrous products; oil-based products; dairy products; and cement .
