Sanitary Flow Meters

3A sanitary certification is achieved by meeting the stringent standards of the 3A organization in flow rates from 1.25 to 650gpm. Turbines, Inc. manufactures flow meters to meet these standards for food/beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical applications where it is important to achieve the highest standards in cleanliness. Our sanitary meters are CIP/SIP/COP/SOP permitting ease of maintenance in hygienic installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 3A sanitary flow meter is a precision instrument designed to measure the flow of liquids in sanitary applications, particularly in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. It meets 3A sanitary standards, ensuring it is easy to clean, hygienic, and safe for sensitive processes. These meters help maintain product quality by providing accurate measurements while meeting regulatory requirements for cleanliness and safety.

While 3A sanitary flow meters are typically used for liquid applications, such as milk, juice, or pharmaceutical solutions, they can also be designed for specific gas applications. However, for most sanitary environments, liquids are the primary focus, as these flow meters are optimized for precise, hygienic liquid measurement.

Maintaining and cleaning a 3A sanitary flow meter involves regular cleaning-in-place (CIP) or sterilization-in-place (SIP) procedures, depending on the application. The meter’s design ensures that it can be thoroughly cleaned without disassembly, using cleaning agents approved for food or pharmaceutical environments. Regular inspections and calibration also help ensure accuracy and compliance with 3A sanitary standards.
