Overview
The FLEXMAG 6100 is an electromagnetic flowmeter for single-use biopharmaceutical applications such as filtration processes, chromatography, and buffer or media preparation. It consists of three parts: a sensor, a disposable single-use flow tube, and a signal converter.
The biocompatible and gamma- or X-ray-sterilisable flow tube is produced in a sterile facility. and features a single barb fitting, meeting biopharmaceutical requirements for integration with single-use systems. The sensor is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large. In conjunction with the flow tubes, which are available in five sizes ranging from ¼" to 1" ID, the flowmeter can accommodate a wide range of applications, from pilot studies to full-scale production.
For high-accuracy flow measurement independent of media properties
Unlike ultrasonic flowmeters or instruments with rotating mechanical parts, such as turbine and impeller flowmeters, the FLEXMAG 6100 is not affected by fluctuating viscosities or densities. It operates maintenance-free and provides an economical alternative to costly Coriolis flowmeters in single-use processes.
Advanced diagnostics and integrated webserver
The FLEXMAG 6100 offers enhanced connectivity with a fully digital interface using the EtherNet/IP™ communication protocol. The improved current output, together with a completely galvanically isolated power supply architecture, ensures reliability even in challenging applications. It also hosts a web server, which allows visualisation of measurements as well as device configuration.
Additionally, the FLEXMAG 6100 introduces advanced diagnostic functions and built-in LED error indication, enhancing monitoring and troubleshooting. These benefits are complemented by a reduced footprint for the sensor unit, as the signal converter is designed as a separate component.
