Vögtlin red-y industrial series: mass flow meters & controllers
The Vögtlin red-y industrial series is a robust line of thermal mass flow meters (MFM) and mass flow controllers (MFC) for gases, specially designed for heavy industrial environments. This series combines the proven red-y measurement quality with industrial protection, communication options and compliance certifications, making it ideal for applications with high demands on reliability and safety.
Key properties
Thermal mass flow measurement
The industrial series uses thermal measuring principles for direct mass flow determination, insensitive to pressure and temperature fluctuations, with a stable and reproducible measuring signal.
High precision and wide dynamic range
The meters and controllers offer excellent accuracy and maintain performance over a large measuring range, with a choice of different flow classes.
Industrial IP protection
Versions with IP67 / NEMA 6 protection are resistant to dust and water jets, ensuring reliable operation under harsh process conditions.
ATEX and explosion safety
Available ATEX-certified versions make the series suitable for use in explosive atmospheres, guaranteeing safety and compliance in high-risk environments.
Analogue and digital communication
Support for classic analogue signals and modern digital fieldbus interfaces such as Profinet RT, EtherCAT and Modbus makes integration into advanced automation systems easy.
Stainless steel and robust housing
Construction in durable materials with robust mechanical properties for long-term operational reliability in industrial installations.
Applications
The red-y industrial series is highly suitable for situations such as:
Process automation in industry
Continuous monitoring and control of gas flows in production environments.
Utilities and energy management
Flow control in energy and utility systems where reliability is crucial.
Machine and plant construction
Integration into machines and automation systems that must withstand industrial loads.
Explosion safety zones
ATEX versions for applications in potentially explosive environments such as petrochemicals and refining.
Thanks to the combination of accurate measurement, robust construction and industrial interfaces, the red-y industrial series offers a stable and safe mass flow solution for demanding applications.
