Industrial Thermal Mass Flow Controller from Sierra Instruments
Sierra Instrument's MaxTrak 180 offers high-performance digital mass flow control of gases in industrial environments. It is CE-approved and meets the rigorous requirements of NEMA 6 and IP67.
The 180 is suited for dirty industrial processes such as those found in metals, ceramics manufacturing, and combustion control systems as well as washdown environments in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, biotech, and the food and beverage industry.
The MaxTrak is also available with 316 stainless-steel flanges for the heaviest industrial environments, you can count on MaxTrak to provide you with the reliability needed in the harshest of environments.
For industrial applications, the 180 thermal mass flow controller (MFC) is a true multi-gas digital MFC that has been designed by Sierra to deliver smooth, stable, accurate, and repeatable gas mass flow control with extremely low-pressure drops. It is unaffected by upstream gas temperature and pressure fluctuations, and gas mass flow control is direct and unequivocal.
Pilot Module: With a remote-mounted pilot module display/interface you can view and change every aspect of SmartTrak 180 in the field with the push of a button. Simply choose a gas from the menu and it’s ready to go, without losing any accuracy. You can also adjust engineering units, and flow range, and set zero, span, and full scale independently for each gas.
DIY Calibration: If you would prefer to calibrate your own mass flow meters and controllers in-house, all necessary software, training, and flow calibration standards can be provided.
Software & Digital Communications: Free user software and a variety of communications protocols like Modbus, Profibus, and Foundation Fieldbus, make every SmartTrak easy to integrate into your digital communications network.
The Thermal Advantage: Thermal mass flow technology is an industry standard for mass flow control of gases because it measures flow directly, at the molecular level. In essence, counting and controlling every gas molecule flowing through the instrument to achieve unmatched precision.
