Application
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage production demands hygienic, reliable instrumentation that can withstand rigorous cleaning protocols. Flo-Gage stainless steel meters deliver accurate flow measurement in demanding food-grade environments.
Hygienic Design for Food Safety
Food and beverage facilities require instrumentation that can be cleaned in place (CIP) or steamed in place (SIP) without disassembly. Flo-Gage meters in 316 stainless steel with Teflon seals withstand the caustic cleaners, hot water, and steam used in modern CIP systems.
Our simple variable area design has no dead legs, no electronic components in the flow path, and no complex internal geometries that can trap product or cleaning solution — making them a practical choice for food-grade utility lines.
Key Features
- 316 stainless steel body and internals for food-grade compatibility
- Steam service option (K) for CIP and SIP sterilization lines
- Expanded Temperature option (T) for hot water and steam cleaning
- NEMA-4X gasketed enclosure for washdown environments
- Teflon seal option for aggressive cleaning chemicals
- No dead legs or crevices in the flow path that can harbor bacteria
Typical Applications
CIP Water & Caustic Lines
Monitor cleaning solution flow rates and verify CIP cycle performance.
Steam Sterilization
Measure steam flow to autoclaves and SIP circuits.
Ingredient Dosing
Accurate measurement of water, syrups, and liquid ingredients.
CO₂ & Nitrogen
Measure carbonation gas and blanketing nitrogen in beverage lines.
