Molasses flow meters are a type of flow meter used for molasses flow measurement. Molasses are common high viscosity liquids. So Molasses flow meters are flow meters that can be used to measure various high viscosity liquids. Can common electromagnetic flowmeters be used to measure high viscosity liquids? What about the Coriolis mass flow meter?
Perhaps after the introduction of this article, you will understand.
Properties of molasses
What is molasses:
Molasses is a viscous, dark brown, semi-liquid object. It mainly contains sucrose. The content of pantothenic acid in sucrose is higher, reaching 37mg/kg. In addition, the biotin content is also considerable. It is easy to be mixed into soybean molasses and molasses fermentation liquid.
Molasses characteristics
- Molasses is a brownish yellow viscous liquid, with the fragrance of yeast and the sweetness of molasses;
- The content of CP is high, 3-6%;
- High sugar content, generally 42-50%. Low energy density, good taste. Fast digestion and absorption, and the price is lower than corn (2346, 2.00, 0.09%).
- Contain vitamins, minerals, bacterial proteins, nucleic acids, surface active substances and growth-promoting factors (biologically active substances) and other ingredients.
- Anti-acid and alkali, anti-oxidation, strong chelating ability to divalent cations. It can form organic chelating trace elements with metal ions. Promote the absorption and utilization of minerals by livestock and poultry.
The above is a detailed introduction to what molasses is.
Choosing right molasses flow meters
For the properties of molasses. There are 4 types of flow meters that can be used as molasses flow meters.
The electromagnetic flowmeter is a flow measuring instrument. In the working conditions that require flow measurement, electromagnetic flowmeters are inseparable.
When measuring the flow of low-viscosity and high-viscosity liquids, many people think of electromagnetic flowmeters. In fact, it is right, although I dare not say that the electromagnetic flowmeter is omnipotent. But almost all conductive liquids can be solved by electromagnetic flowmeters.
For diluted molasses. Good liquidity. It can be measured with an electromagnetic flowmeter.

Spur Gear Flowmeter is our brand new product. Measure small flow rates. As low as 0.01L/min.
The gear flow meter is a common positive displacement flow meter. The gear flow sensor has built-in double gears to operate. The volume of the medium is calculated by the volume of the gear. The flow rate of the small fluid medium is measured.
- It can measure fluids with a viscosity of up to 10000 Pa.s.
- The lowest flow rate can be measured 0.6L/H. That is 0.0026 GPM.
Gear flow meters can be used for resin and glue flow measurement. Flow measurement of hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, and grease. Maltose, syrup. Fuel oil flow measurement. Flow measurement of ink and asphalt. Flow measurement of liquid nitrogen, freezing liquid, and solvent. Edible oil, fish oil, and food filling measurement. Chemical and anti-corrosion requirements fluid measurement. A fluid quantitative control system, etc.

If the flow rate of molasses is large, how to measure the flow rate of the liquid with high viscosity?
Oval gear flowmeter is a positive displacement flowmeter, also known as displacement flowmeter. It is a type of flowmeter with high measurement accuracy among flow meters, and it is very good at measuring liquids with high viscosity.
The oval gear flowmeter can measure liquids up to Viscosity: 1000-2000mPa.s.
The measurement of the oval gear flowmeter has nothing to do with the flow state of the fluid. The higher the viscosity of the medium, the smaller the leakage from the gear and the metering gap. Therefore, the higher the viscosity, the more advantageous it is for measurement.
Measurable medium: fuel, diesel, gasoline, heat transfer oil, hydraulic oil, kerosene, tar, petroleum, crude oil, asphalt, resin, and other liquids. Especially suitable for the measurement of high viscosity liquids.
Coriolis mass flowmeter has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, good stability, and easy operation. It is an ideal instrument for measuring the flow of high-viscosity media such as high temperature, high viscosity, and easy crystallization.
The flow and temperature of the high-viscosity medium form a cascade control system. Install an automatic regulating valve on the inlet pipe to automatically cut off and adjust the size of the oil volume according to the reaction temperature. Ensure a fast response state and reduce pure lag time.
After using the mass flowmeter, the flow of the high-viscosity medium is uniform and stable, which reduces the labor intensity of the operators. The pure lag time is shortened, and the quality of the product is guaranteed. Improved economic efficiency.
