Coriolis meter displaces old flow
techniques
The Micro Motion flowmeter enables RCS to continue development of special designs and custom engineered liquid dispensing machines for chemical companies, in both Hazardous and non-Hazardous areas
For many years manufacturers of industrial liquids have used Weigh filling systems to monitor the quantity of product delivered into the final drum or container A recent design from RCS Filling Machines of Nottingham monitors the weight of fluid dispensed using a Coriolis Mass flowmeter from Micro Motion: this meter replaces the normal cumbersome static weigh platform, allowing the whole machine to become a mobile manoeuvrable unit

New Sizes for Coriolis
The Micro Motion R Series Coriolis Meter, the low cost general-purpose flowmeter, Is now available in four sizes, from 1/4in through to 2in.
Digital technology featured in transmitter range
Digital technology is fast becoming the accepted method of process communication to open systems in today's industrial world.
The new design has been granted Weights and Measures Approval certification, for dispensing and sale of liquid products, according to the measurements made by the Coriolis meter.
There are growing numbers of applications like this where the Coriolis meter is displacing old-established flow or weigh measurement techniques, by close co-operation between Micro Motion and the special purpose machine builder.
An RCS portable system has been in operation with Polartech Ltd in Manchester for over a year.

Process plant sensors with added intelligence
New breeds of process transmitters are emerging which take advantage of the growth of intelligence and computing power available in field devices.
Polartech manufacture additives for metal working fluids, and supply these to lubricant blenders and marketing companies across the World.
Their consignments can be in 20 or 25 Litre packs, 205 Litre drums, or 1000 Litre IBC containers: to cope with an increasing workload the second machine using a Micro Motion flowmeter has just been delivered.
"The RCS Machine with Mass flow measurement enables more efficient container filling and more accurate product dispensing, with less wastage" according to Steve Mayo, Commercial Director at Polartech.
The new portable filling system has been a joint development effort between RCS and Micro Motion engineers, with the accuracy and reliability achievable from the Coriolis meter enabling the Weights and Measures approval.
Ross Gammon, the MD of RCS Filling Machines, claims that: "The major advantage we are able to offer our customers is that multiple drums can be filled on a pallet, or even on stacked pallets, eliminating the need for individual drum handling.
By avoiding the requirement for the conventional static Weigh platform, pre-adjusted for level, the flowmeter based fill system can be made portable: the operator can simply move from pallet to pallet around the warehouse" The Micro Motion flowmeter enables RCS to continue their development of special designs and custom engineered liquid dispensing machines for chemical companies, in both Hazardous and non-Hazardous areas.
By using the Coriolis meter sizes now available, the volume dispensed from these RCS machines can range from as low as 50 gms, up to in excess of 1000 Kg.
