Sanitary Turbine Flowmeter
Pharmaceutical-Grade Precision. Food-Safe Hygiene. Instant Quick-Release Installation
Engineered strictly for the Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceutical industries, this flowmeter combines laboratory-grade accuracy with a quick-release sanitary design. Unlike standard industrial meters, it features a polished 316L stainless steel body with zero dead zones, ensuring absolute hygiene and compatibility with CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) cycles. The Tri-clamp connection allows your maintenance team to install or remove the unit for inspection in seconds—without tools—maximizing uptime in your critical sanitary processes.
- Tri-clamp design enables 10-second installation and removal for cleaning.
- Polished 316L Stainless Steel construction prevents bacterial harborage.
- ±0.5% accuracy ensures exact ingredient dosing and filling control.
- Fully compatible with high-temperature CIP cleaning and steam sterilization.

- Silicone USP Class VI: Pharmaceutical, biotech applications
- PTFE: Universal chemical resistance, high-purity processes
Why Choose Sanitary Turbine Over Alternatives
vs. Sanitary Electromagnetic Flowmeters:
- Measures non-conductive fluids (oils, alcohols, solvents)
- Better accuracy
- Lower cost for small sizes (DN15-DN50)
- Not suitable for products with suspended solids
- Has moving parts requiring maintenance
vs. Sanitary Coriolis Flowmeters:
- Significantly lower cost
- Simpler maintenance (field-serviceable rotor)
- Lower pressure drop
- Volumetric measurement only (Coriolis measures mass)
- Lower accuracy (±0.5% vs ±0.1-0.2%)
vs. Positive Displacement Meters:
- Lower pressure drop
- Higher maximum flow capacity
- Faster response time
- Slightly lower accuracy at very low flows
Best Applications for Sanitary Turbine:
- Clean, low-viscosity liquids (water, milk, juices, solvents)
- Batch control requiring ±1% accuracy
- Applications where tri-clamp convenience essential
- Budget-conscious projects requiring sanitary compliance
