EGM5500C Series
Electromagnetic Flowmeter for
Filling Machines

OUTLINE
The compact and lightweight electromagnetic flowmeter EGM5500C
is easy to install on filling machines and is suitable for a batch controlof beverages, detergents or other liquids. Its lightness, compactness,high accuracy, easy cleaning and durability have been realized byputting customers’ requirements together and by making use ofour field experiences. Designed on the concept of simplicity andreliability, it is powered by 24 VDC with only a pulse output by theopen collector without local indication. The straight measuring
tube made of zirconia ceramic allows an easy cleaning and low
pressure loss. Either 10 or 15 mm in size suitable for mounting on
the machines is selectable. It will meet various requirements of fillingmachines including high temperature services.
*1 See next page for the note.

FEATURES❑ Compact and lightweight design suitable for mounting on the machines
Dimensions : 179 × 107 × 50 mm
Mass: 1.4 kg❑ Easy cleaning and low pressure loss
The measuring tube made of zirconia ceramic allows an easycleaning and low pressure loss with a straight construction andwithout any moving parts. It is compatible with CIP requirements
for hygienic use.
❑ Environmentally-resistant
The fully sealed construction endures severe conditions as incleaning operation or in humid atmosphere. No ingress of moistureor water mists thanks to all welded body without any openings.
❑ High speed pulse output
It assures a high resolution and accuracy with the high speed
pulse output as fast as the maximum 10,000 Hz with a resolutionof 0.1 mL per pulse.
