Compressed Air Monitoring
Flow Monitoring and Balancing of Compressed Air in Mining
Compressed air monitoring and balancing
Many mining operations rely on compressed air to power equipment, which requires an extensive network of compressed air lines. As the mine expands, this network constantly changes and grows. Such an ever-evolving system consumes a significant amount of energy, presenting substantial opportunities for energy savings. Often, mines have large underground networks with closed or inactive branches that aren't regularly monitored. A portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter allows for quick and safe checks of potential leaks, flow direction control, and ensures accurate balancing even in challenging conditions.

Product Solutions
The Flexim FLUXUS G731 CA compressed air flow meter boasts non-intrusive clamp-on ultrasonic technology - unique in that it can be applied to measure compressed air flow rates even at very low pressures (down to 3 bar on steel lines and atmospheric pressure on plastic lines). Also, even the lowest flow rates are accurately captured, revealing the smallest leaks. The FLUXUS G731 CA is particularly suitable for non-intrusively measuring quantities drawn off at individual points in the compressed air grid, as well as detecting leaks within it.
- Non-intrusive compressed air and technical gas flow measurement from 3 bar absolute onwards.
- Available as a dual channel meter, stainless steel housing, ATEX/IECEx and FM approval.
- Integrated standard volume flow calculation.
