CoriolisMaster FCH400 series

Hygienic design (same hygiene class) but with higher performance and additional software functions (for example concentration measurement and filling/batching functions). Same compact, high-flex electronics architecture, modular I/O, digital sensor intelligence, diagnostics etc. but improved measurement accuracy and medium temperature capabilities.

With no up or downstream piping requirements the compact Coriolis flowmeters can be installed in the tightest spaces, enabling applications not possible before.
