For more than 40 years GEA develops and manufactures flow metering systems. In the process industry, the electromagnetic flow meter has a special position in the flow metering technology.
The metering, control and regulation of flows and volumes are among GEA's core competences. State-of-the art-technology coupled with many years of experience in the field of quantity determination are offered by electromagnetic flow meters, whose variety and flexibility makes them suitable to perform a wide variety of applications within the beverage, dairy, and home and personal care industry.
Volumetric and flow metering is an extremely important measuring technique in food production. Modern, functional technology using the electromagnetic metering principle, coupled with devices with simplified technology and operation, offer the user a whole range of advantages together with a very good cost/benefit ratio. Thanks to their many years of experience in the field of flow metering technology, the experts at GEA have succeeded, with the new generation of IZMAG™ devices, in reconciling the requirement for measuring instruments that are simple to use on the one hand, and complex system components on the other.
Electromagnetic flow metering ensures accuracy and offers reliability. In the process industry, the electromagnetic flow meter has a special position in the flow metering technology. With the IZM™ family GEA created a product covering all essential applications for the flow or volume metering.
The electromagnetic flow meter type IZMAG™ is suitable for metering both the flow rate and the volume of all kinds of liquids that have a minimum conductivity of 5 µS/cm. The IZMAG™ is completely made from stainless steel and it is anyway equipped with a display unit, immaterial of the device version preferred. A built-in Bluetooth interface even permits a wireless communication with the metering device.
Pulse outputs and an analog output are always available. Actions and processes can be controlled via a digital input. The IZMAG™ can be delivered either in an all-in-one version or with “discrete” signal transmitter and electronics box.
Other features:
Combined with the evaluating electronics of the IZM-SE™ or IZM-TE™ series, the electromagnetic flow meter, type IZMAG²™, with its special measuring tube design is suitable for custody transfer measurements according to its official approval. The IZMAG²™ measuring tube has been designed specifically to do without any inlet and/or outlet pipe sections. This means for the user that space is saved while the effectiveness is still increased at a measuring accuracy of +/-0.2%.
Among other tasks, IZMAG²™ is ideally suited for use on vehicles according to DIN40839.
Vacuum resistance is reached by mechanical anchoring of the synthetic material to a stainless steel lattice. The sensitivity to water vapor that is typical for coated liners and the susceptibility to high cleaning temperatures (>80°C) are not an issue for IZMAG²™.
The IZMAG²™ is available both in compact and separated design.
With the IZM™ family GEA created a product covering all essential applications for the flow or volume metering. GEA's product range in the field of electromagnetic flow meters offers you various possibilities.
The version IZM-S™ is available in compact and separated design and can be supplied with an integrated display. The measurable range for the flow velocity ranges from 0.03 up to 10 m/s.
With typical nominal widths of DN10 .... DN150 a flow range between 10 l/h and 1,000 m3/h can be achieved.
The electromagnetic flow meter IZM-S™ is also available as officially approved version.
Technical features of the IZM-S™:
The electromagnetic flow meter type IZM-S™ is available with a variety of transmitters and converters and either in integrated or separated version.
Not the meter alone but the completely Weights & Measures and Customs approved monitoring and control technology allow the application of volume metering for the official trade use.
GEA's electromagnetic flow meters type IZM™ are suitable for the measurement of all liquids with a minimum conductivity of 5 µS/cm.
Usually, the unit IZM-T™ is used in separated design with integrated display.
The electromagnetic flow meter type IZM-T™ is also available as officially approved version and can print an official voucher.
From its longtime experience in the process technology GEA knows the practical demands of metering systems very well. That is the reason why we can offer more but a simple device!
Not the meter alone but the completely Weights & Measures and Customs approved monitoring and control technology allow the application of volume metering for the official trade use.
The available functions of the electromagnetic flow meter type IZM-T™ comply with the requirements for an official metering system, in many cases.
Quantity preselection and filling control, on demand Weights & Measures approved
With solid, technically matured technology and longtime practical experience GEA stands as a reliable partner in the field of flow metering of liquids for most various applications. Not only the single device but also the problem solving for the customer is GEA's focus. That way, niche applications arose in the last decades, which partly found a place in the standard products or which simply created a new application profile.
GEA's electromagnetic flow meters type IZM are suitable for the measurement of all liquids with a minimum conductivity of 5 µS/cm.
In addition to the flow and volume metering, the meters are able to dose quantities or to start and stop automatically fillings by activating a valve or the pump.
The following types for quantity dosing are available as standard:
All measuring and controlling units can be installed on a mobile frame.
In addition to the flow and volume metering, the meters are able to control filling processes automatically or semi-automatically.
The exact measurement of the product is the basis for the filling, but only the intelligent, self-learning valve control ensures the desired filling result.
The inputs and outputs in the metering device cover additional control functions, e.g. selection of the packing drum size, emptying signal etc.
GEA also provides you with additional equipment for filling machines, e.g. the product tank!
Calibration: GEA flow meter with calibration function, type DI-MASTER™
GEA's electromagnetic flow meters type IZM are suitable for the measurement of all liquids with a minimum conductivity of 5 µS/cm.
The typical measuring tolerance of the device IZM-S™ is at +/- 0.25%. In order to calibrate the flow meter directly in the process with a master meter, an accuracy of at least +/- 0.1% is required. A special software and calibration complies with this demand.
For 5 flow rates, this device configuration offers a compensation of the electromagnetic flow meter IZM-S™ to a deviation 'zero'!
Rotary piston meters, turbine meters, electromagnetic flow meters etc. can equally by checked. Several "master meters" on a mobile frame can cover the whole flow range of a company.
