Milltronics L-300 Solids Flowmeter
Milltronics L-300 solids flowmeter is a
medium-capacity flowmeter for various
product sizes, densities, and fluidities. The
sloped flowguide design conditions the
material into a repeatable flow pattern.
The flowmeter load cells output signals are
processed by the flowmeter integrator (ordered separately) to:
• monitor material flow
• maintain accurate
material inventory
• provide batch control for
process or loadout
purposes1
• control the ratio of
materials in continuous
blending processes 1
Components of the Milltronics V Series flowmeter system:
• L-300 flowmeter housing and flowguide consisting of force sensing mechanism
consisting of two parallelogram load cells and stainless steel sensing plate
• electronic flowmeter integrator (ordered separately)
The Manual
This instruction manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of the
Milltronics L-300 solids flowmeter.
Please refer to this manual for proper installation and operation of any component of the
system to which the L-300 is being applied. Adhering to the installation and operating
procedures will ensure a quick, trouble-free installation and allow for the maximum
accuracy and reliability of your weighing system. Because the L-300 solids flowmeter is
used in conjunction with an integrator, refer to the integrator’s manual as well.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about the manual contents, please
