Flow transmitter for hygienic liquid applications

Fluxicont FU4LK

Flow transmitter for hygienic liquid applications measures 3…300 cm/s and process temperature from –20 °C to +110 °C, with calorimetric sensing, IO-Link® or RS485 Modbus®-RTU and ingress protection (IP69K/IP67).

Introduction

In hygienic and aseptic liquid processes, dependable flow monitoring starts with a sensor that fits the process as cleanly as it measures. This flow and temperature transmitter is designed for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and sterile process applications, with a metal-sealing process connection that is dead-space-free and elastomer-free.
 
The calorimetric sensor monitors flow velocities from 3…300 cm/s and process temperatures from –20 °C to +110 °C. Short response times support responsive control, with T90 ≤ 6s for flow and T90 ≤ 4s for temperature. Digital electronics with RS485 Modbus®-RTU or IO-Link® make the device easier to integrate and adjust to demanding measurement tasks.
 
A fully welded stainless steel housing, ingress protection (IP69K/IP67) and process pressure resistance up to 40bar give the transmitter the resilience needed for CIP/SIP cleaning and tough plant environments.

Features

Calorimetric measurement

The wear-free calorimetric sensor measures flow in liquids and also monitors process temperature.

Digital electronics

Output versions include RS485 Modbus®-RTU or IO-Link® V1.1, depending on the selected electronics configuration.

Analog and switching outputs

The IO-Link® version includes one 0/4…20mA current output and two push-pull switching outputs.

Process connection

The G½"A process connection uses metal sealing for hygienic, dead-space-free and elastomer-free process adaptation.

Sensor lengths

Sensor lengths of 30 mm, 50 mm and 80 mm are available for different installation requirements.

Process materials

Wetted parts are made from stainless steel 1.4404/316L and 1.4571/316Ti.

Options

Available options include LABS-free and silicone-free versions, laser TAG marking, EN10204 3.1 material certificate, factory certificates and customer-specific configuration.
