Anderson Negele magnetic (electromagnetic) flowmeters are engineered for accurate, hygienic flow and volume measurement in food, beverage, dairy, and life science applications. These meters measure conductive liquids, slurries, and pastes using a magnetic inductive principle based on Faraday’s law, ensuring reliable performance with no moving parts, high stability, and excellent cleanability.
The FMQ, IZMAG, and IZMS magnetic-inductive models provide high measurement accuracy, FDA/3 A/EHEDG compliant construction, and compatibility with conductive media (>5 µS/cm). They are widely used for dosing, batching, filling, CIP verification, and continuous process flow control.
Key Benefits
1.) High Accuracy & Repeatability
- FMQ magnetic‑inductive meter delivers ±0.5% ±2 mm/s accuracy, maintaining precision even at low flow rates—ideal for dosing and filling applications.Â
- IZMAG offers ±0.20% accuracy and stable operation across a wide range of viscosities and temperatures.Â
2.) Hygienic, Sanitary Design
- Meets 3‑A Sanitary Standards, and all wetted materials are FDA‑compliant.
- Wetted components (PFA liner, 316L stainless steel, EPDM, silicone) support aggressive CIP chemicals and high‑purity sanitary applications.
3)Â Robust, Durable Construction
- Stainless‑steel housings with vacuum‑tight PFA linings resist corrosion, vibration, and pressure shocks.Â
- Designed for CIP/SIP cleaning up to 130°C (212°F) for the FMQ model, enabling integration into hygienic process environments.Â
4.) Advanced Features for Operational Efficiency
- IO‑Link digital communication on FMQ models for enhanced diagnostics and integration.Â
- Rotatable, illuminated graphic displays allow intuitive configuration without opening the housing.Â
- Automatic empty‑pipe detection and self‑monitoring capabilities improve process reliability.Â
Common Uses
Food & Beverage Processing
Used for accurate measurement of milk, beer, juice, sauces, syrups, mash, concentrates, and other conductive liquids. The IZMAG and FMQ models handle viscous, sticky, and particulate‑containing media without performance degradation.Â
Dairy Applications
Exceptional for milk receiving, cream processing, yogurt production, batching, and pasteurization‑line flow verification. Hygienic design supports contamination‑free measurement.Â
Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
Sanitary design and FDA/3‑A compliance support buffer solutions, ingredient dosing, and sterile production. Pharma versions include material certificates and electropolished surfaces.Â
CIP, Blending & Batching
Magnetic flowmeters are widely used for:
- CIP chemical and flow verification
- Automated batching and blending
- Accurate dosing of ingredients and additives
- Filling line control in processing plants
Summary
Anderson‑Negele magnetic flowmeters combine precision, hygienic construction, and robust performance to meet the demanding requirements of modern sanitary processing. With FDA‑compliant wetted surfaces, 3‑A certified design, and advanced IO‑Link and display capabilities, they provide reliable flow measurement for conductive liquids, slurries, and pastes across food, beverage, dairy, and life‑science applications. Options for high accuracy, compact installation, CIP/SIP compatibility, and durable stainless‑steel construction make these meters an essential component of efficient, validated, and contamination‑free flow control.
